In an emergency, when something unexpected happens, you can rely on Nina. My flight from London to Vienna was delayed 3.5 hours which meant I arrived in Vienna 12.30 am and finally reached the apartment 2.05 am, way past the check in time. Yet Nina, who was away on vacation, arranged it so I could still pick up the keys and access the apartment. And despite being in a location 2 hours ahead (4 am) she refused to sleep until I texted her I was safely in the apartment!
I am so grateful there are such responsible people in this world. Because of that I was not left stranded in Vienna. She treated me like family just because I chose to stay in her apartment.
It is an elegant spacious apartment located in one of those classical buildings you find all over Vienna. The neighbourhood exudes a quiet refined charm and we loved that it was only a short few minutes walk to the subway station where trains seem to be timed to come within 2 minutes of your arriving at the platform. Once onboard it is less than 5 minutes to Stephansplatz, the centre of town. And I love Viennese trains. They always seem new, clean, quiet and uncrowded.
To stay in this apartment was definitely one of my wiser decisions this holiday!
