In a word our stay at Caroline’s AirBnb was “perfect”. We came to Vienna to visit our son and chose the location because it was a 10 minute walk. As it turned out it was less than 10 minutes from the U-Bahn (subway) and located on the banks of the Alte Donau, an urban lake that was once a branch of the Danube river. The Alte Donau is a summer hot spot and is encircled by a wonderful walking, running, and biking trail. The U-Bahn gets you to the center of Old Vienna in about 10 minutes and on several days we made the trip back and forth a couple of times. With multiple lines and easy transfers you can get anywhere in Vienna in minutes and we took great advantage of our 1 week U-Bahn pass.
Caroline’s apartment is wonderful. Beautiful in it’s European simplicity while decorated tastefully by our hostess. Spacious and elegant with everything we needed. We looked forward to ending each day on the living room couches winding down with a glass of wine. The bath was spacious with a wonderful shower and included a combination washer and dryer which was a big plus. The kitchen fully appointed with tasteful dinnerware, glassware, cookware and cutlery. The bedding and linens were beautiful and the bed and pillows very comfortable.
Foremost Caroline was a wonderful hostess. She entertained all our pre-visit questions, met us to welcome us, and was available during our stay if we needed. It’s clear she takes great pride in her gem and in being a welcoming friend. If I return to Vienna it would be my first choice without hesitation.
