We stayed with five people (four adults and one child) in Itamar's apartment for three days and were fully satisfied.

The building itself is nondescript in a quiet street. Stores are available not immediately within eyesight, but about 5 minutes walk. We used the tram for public transit also about 5-6 minutes walking time. It a very quite residential building, where we did not even run into other residents. We felt safe walking about and leaving items in our room.

The apartment is larger than description and pictures would have you believe. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the rooms (three bedrooms each able to sleep two couples if needed) and the large living room. The hallway connecting the various rooms is also roomy. Sound control is excellent, as you cannot hear between the bedrooms, nor from the other apartments. The sleeping areas and bathroom are at opposite ends, so it's good for privacy. There is one bathroom with bath, washer/dryer combo (in German), shower but no toilet. Adjacent is another small bathroom with only a toilet.

The apartment windows face the courtyard which is rather depressing, but at least quiet (the street view would have been much more exciting). With the large windows open (available in every bedroom, kitchen, and living room) there is a good air flow with no offensive odours or noise.

Everything in the apartment was fully working and up to date. There is good supply of miscellaneous household goods such as cutlery, spices, tea, coffee, a Vienna Lonely planet book, small amount of complimentary liquor, detergent, towels, toilet paper, small tools, etc. It is like staying in a lived-in apartment rather than a bare hotel room. Everything is where is supposed to be and easy to find. There is no visible clutter and everything is tidy. It is spotlessly clean and bedding is comfortable and fresh. Many thanks to Melita (Itamar's helper) for keeping this place in such good shape!

Our host Itamar was not available, but Melita was in full and prompt contact with us (via SMS) to help us get the keys, answer questions, and coordinate check out. She is very nice person.

Thanks for everything! If/when we visit Vienna again, we would definitely consider the same apartment again!
