We felt very welcome in the apartment of Rudolph's parents. A friend of the family welcomed us and checked with us, if we need anything during our (long-term) stay. When there was a heat-wave in Vienna, they offered to provide extra fans, to combat the hot air. The apartment itself is very light, with nice skylights in the bedroom/loft-area upstairs. The windows are facing the inner court, so it is very quiet, with no traffic noise. The apartment has an elevator to the last story, too (albeit, a slow one). The inner courtyard of the house the apartment is in is probably one of the most picturesque in Vienna - a walk through from Lerchenfelderstrasse to Neustiftgasse, with beautiful arches, cascading stairs, sculptures, and wine-leaf covered areas (arts students sometimes sit on the stairs to draw the courtyard). Next to apartment is one of the best ice-cream stores in town; on the other side of the courtyard - one of the best pizzerias (La Mia). We truly enjoyed out stay in there and would greatly recommend it to others (minor caveat - due to its orientation, it can get very hot in summer; but during the rest of the year one would benefit from beautiful sun for the most parts of the day).
