Martin's place is in a centrally located residential area. Very easy to get to all the major sites of Vienna and yet escape the crowds. His place is near several grocery stores and restaurants and most forms of public transportation. Yes, you will have to climb 4 flights of stairs but this added to the charm of staying in Europe for our family of 6 (kids ages from 7-14). Martin is a truly genuine host, that responded to our needs; he bought more kitchen supplies when we asked, he helped us receive a much-needed letter sent from US and responded quickly to our text. Our family highly recommends this place if staying in Vienna for both families and other.
