We stayed at the Marc-Aurel apartment for a week in early Sept. of 2013 and we had a wonderful experience all around. Vienna is a gorgeous, friendly city and the apartment is a perfect match.

The apartment is on the 5th floor (elevator) of a very centrally located in a large building and overlooks an inner courtyard - no street noise - we had the windows open every night.

One more word about the location: there is a fantastic grocery store (Merkur) literally around the corner, there are restaurants (local and great Italian like Da Capo) and bakeries (best traditional bread at Joseph Bakery on Nagelgasse) and all of your famous cafés (Central, Schwarzenberg, Hwalka, Landtmann etc.) and many many attractions and the opera ... ALL within easy walking distance.

The apartment was spotless! The kitchen is well equipped (including several sizes of clean pots and pans; dishes and silverware and glassware, of course, but also dish soap, paper towels etc., things we have had to buy at other places we have rented in the past). The beds are comfortable and so is the living room. The entire place has a bright, fresh feeling about it.

Finally, the host Yanita was very friendly and often responded within minutes to emails and messages when we were arranging the booking and the arrival times.

We would certainly stay at this apartment again for our next visit to Vienna.
