Just home from a fantastic week spent at Johannes and Johanna's Salzgries appartment over Christmas. The location was perfect, literally a few minutes walk from the airport bus stop at Morzinplatz (in fact the airport bus passes right by the door of the flat before reaching its stop round the corner on Morzinplatz).

There is a very convenient Spar Gourmet shop just round the corner from the flat (in fact the windows from the flat overlook the street where the Spar is located). Further up the street at the roundabout there is a nice organic bakery too.

During our week long stay we only used public transport on two occasions to get out to Schloss Schoenbrunn, for the rest of the trip we walked everywhere. I cannot stress how fantastic the location is!! A few minutes to Hoher Markt (where there is a good Wurstelstand), about 5 minutes to Stephansplatz, 15 minutes to the opera etc. On our last morning, we have a very pleasant stroll right around the Ring in the beautiful sunshine! Public transport is readily on hand if you do require it, with Schwedenplatz just a few minutes walk away (for U-bahn and tram).

The flat itself was immaculate - everything was on hand and worked really well. The flat is very spacious, especially for just the two of us. We didn't use the single bedroom but it was roomy enough too. The open plan kitchen and living room was also large and the sofa was great. The shower was powerful and the bed very comfy! There was an amazing amount of storage in the flat particularly in the main bedroom, which allowed us to unpack and properly feel at home.

Everything we needed was in the appartment for us - clean and fresh towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll etc. We loved the Nespresso machine which made fantastic coffee (Johanna informed us on arrival that there was a little mini bar with spare Nespresso capsules and a few bottles of wine in the cupboard - we used quite a few capsules!)

Johanna was very friendly and the hand-over of keys at the start and end of our week was very swift. Johanna even allowed us to leave our luggage in the appartment for a few extra hours, while she cleaned before the next guests arrived on our departure day.

All in all we had a fantastic 7 night stay. This was the first time we have stayed in an appartment in Vienna (although we are fairly frequent visitors) and will definitely book this appartment again if we can!
