The Dorotheum apartment, at Dorotheergasse no. 22, is located in the heart of Vienna. For a visitor to Vienna, first time or returning, this is an ideal location. Between two clusters of major tourist and city life attractions, the apartment is about half-way between the Hofburg at one end and the Albertina/Hotel Sacher/Wiener Staatsoper hub at the other end. Yet, being located on a smaller street and away from the major street linking the mentioned two focuses of activity, the apartment offers peace and quiet, retired as it is from the hustle and bustle of the big squares. As a bonus, the beautiful pedestrian and open shopping malls of Kärntner Strasse and Graben are just as close. The Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) anchors both streets. For most travellers who rent apartments, supplies and provisions are very important. A short walk from the apartment is the beautiful Neue Markt and at one end of it stands Bila, a first class supermarket, which also sells prepared food of excellent quality. Then, at the end of Graben, one finds the famous Julius Meinl supermarket. All around, there are patisseries and cafes, including, at the Graben end of Dorotheergasse, at no. 6, the famous Kaffeehaus Hawelka, still looking as it looked in the days of its opening, in 1939. Two good Italian-style restaurants are at the corner of Dorotheergasse with Augustinerstrasse, but good Viennese goulash, noodle soup, three kinds of snitzel and not the least palacsintas can be had (should be had) at Cafe Palffy, next door to Palais Palffy on Josefplatz. They will even accommodate take-outs. The building at Dorotheergasse 22 is in excellent shape, with a modern elevator, small but still larger than most we have found in our travels. The building has a mixed of apartments and offices, and is very quiet at all hours. The apartment is located on the 1st floor European, 2nd floor North America. The apartment is well furnished, with a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, two single beds in the second bedroom and a sofa in the living/dining room. The dining room offers a table with four chairs and a number of sturdy folding chairs are available in the two bedrooms. The apartment was very clean. A bonus is the long corridor and the doors that allow privacy to the various rooms as desired. A good-size flat screen TV, cable TV, Wifi, were available in the living/dining room. In line with what we have seen lately elsewhere, there is no land line telephone in the apartment. Guests should rely on their own mobiles, or use unlocked mobiles with Austrian SIM cards. One peculiarity of the Austrian mobile system is that the SIM is being bought in telephone stores but the time charge is made in Tabak stores. There are many of both kinds in Neue Markt and on Kärntner Strasse (T-mobile is there too). We bought a SIM for 10 Euro and charged the phone with the minimum 10 Euro; for a total of 20...
