We would highly recommend Zita and her house in Vienna, Austria for families on a short or a longer break.

Zita herself went out of her way to help us, and was all you would want in an AirBNB hostess. She was able to tell us about the local facilities (shopping, restaurants), and transport (2min walk to a feeder bus, 4 stops to the U-Bahn, weekly tickets excellent value).

The house has to be seen to be believed. The top floor is a large double bedroom with a large bathroom including a bath and shower. The middle floor has a large double bedroom, a children's bedroom (with 2 beds), and large bathroom with bath and shower. The ground floor has a large living space and kitchen. There's even a lift to help take heavy bags to the upper floors. There is a basement with a washing machine and some other rooms. All the rooms are very high so that one gets a real feeling of elegance and space in all parts of the house.

Overall the house was a real home away from home, very comfortable, and with every modern convenience. The WiFi was excellent, and I was able to use my own Chromecast to stream music and video to the large TV and sound system in the sitting room.

The location is fabulous, a really beautiful part of the city with large "villas" some converted into apartments. Yet it is very close to the centre and only 5mins on a bus (every 10 minutes) to get to the underground train network.

We did the usual arty touristy things: lots of galleries and museums, and the famous Wiener Riesenrad (viewing Ferris wheel -- very safe for kids). We came in the Winter so we did not use the outdoor pool or the garden, but it all looked lovely from the comfort of the warm house.
