We spent a week in Vienna with our 3 year old son. The area has a couple of mini parks within 2-3 minutes walk from the apartment. and a larger park nearby for for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and older kids. The zoo is about 20 -25 minutes walk away. My husband took our son their twice. It's a wonderful zoo for the whole family with lots of trees, benches and grassy area. It felt more like a park than a zoo. What a beautiful setting for the animals.
We had quick and easy access to the tram to the centre from the apartment. There's a bakery and a Billa grocery store around the corner which was quite handy.
Anna our host was great with her communication with us. She helped us with the calling of the taxi for us to take us to the train station since we didn't have a phone. Thanks Anna.
The apartment was clean , comfortable and spacious . It was great for our son to be able to set up his train tracks and do his puzzles on the living room floor.
We found the neighbourhood not to be that interesting and a bit noisy when the windows are opened. We had to keep the windows opened to cool off the apartment as the temperature was in the mid- thirties ! There was no fan or air conditioner. However, the air does cool down during the night. I think we were experiencing heat wave in Vienna! Last issue we had with the place was the sheerness of the curtains in the bedroom. Even though the curtains were of dark colour it was still see through. So our bedroom never got dark. Plus, the street lights were just outside the windows. Between the noise and the light coming through our bedroom windows, we didn't get much sleep. But if you're not sensitive to noise or light then I would happily recommend Anna's place for you!
