The apartment was better than expected with high ceilings and a lot of room to relax. Erich was waiting for us when we arrived by taxi from the airport. Over our visit for 10 days we had a minor crisis which Erich helped resolve and was by our sides within 30 minutes: what service! The location is really perfect being so close to the Museum Quarters, only a 5 minute walk; and almost next door to the grocery store which was at the corner next to the MQ subway station. We were on the street with the Secession building and a short walk 20 minutes to St. Stephens square. We took the English speaking taxi from Rick Stevens guidebook back to the airport for about 30 euros (it was nearly 50 euros to get from the airport to the apartment. We spend two days in Salzburg and caught the hourly train (westbahn) to and from: the tickets can be bought once you board the train at a greatly reduced cost compared to the OBB system. No reservations regarding Eric and his wonderfully located apartment; also very quiet in this interiorly placed apartment.
