Apartment in central Vienna - Two Weeks Beautiful home in Vienna; you are truly spoilt with Elena's house. As soon as you enter the home, you feel instantly relaxed and know you have chosen the perfect home to explore beautiful Vienna. She was pleasantly surprised with a welcome bottle of wine and felt like she knew The Schmidts were arriving. Six stars for cleanliness; every corner of the home is sparkling. The kitchen and bathrooms were exceptional. Seriously, the photos do not do this Airbnb justice. It is perfect for digital nomads—great location, facilities, etc. We stayed here for two weeks and found the location very central. It is an easy walk to the centre of Vienna, and there is no need for taxis as you are within walking distance of all the local spots. The sunshine beaming into the home every morning is pure joy, and the peaceful neighbourhood makes for a very uninterrupted sleep. The massive bed with high-quality linen is also a bonus. The home is spacious, and the kitchen is perfect for cooking meals at home; everything you need is already there if you need to shop. You are only 5 minute's walk from a selection of supermarkets. The kitchen layout was also the most practical kitchen, very well designed. Excellent water pressure and temperature, and plenty of towels, too. Elena is fabulous and an absolute pleasure to communicate with; she has perfect English, is full of helpful tips about Vienna, and is always there when you need her for extra tips. Thank you, Elena, for making our stay here in Vienna an absolute pleasure. Even as the city became locked down, we still thoroughly enjoyed being confined to your beautiful home daily.

Sansibar - Five Visits It's a great place to sit back and drink beside the Danube River. We tended to sit upstairs at the new Sansibar Garden, which had a better and quieter viewer. Go for the happy hour from 6 pm to 8 pm, which is fantastic for a shisha. They also serve great pizza and bar food as well. This became our local during our three-month stay in Vienna.

St. Francis of Assisi Church The view from our Airbnb while staying in Vienna for the last three months. St. Francis of Assisi Church (German: Kirche zum Heiligen Franz von Assisi), also known as the Emperor's Jubilee Church (German: Kaiserjubiläumskirche) and the Mexico Church (German: Mexikokirche), is a Basilica-style Catholic church in Vienna, Austria. Built between 1898 and 1910, it was consecrated in 1913.[1] It is located on the Mexikoplatz in Vienna's Second District, Leopoldstadt,[2] and is administered by the Order of the Holy Trinity.

Newman - Six visits 'The problem with the world is everyone is a few Negronis behind'. This bar is perfect for Negroni lovers to hang out and enjoy a famous Austrian schnitzel. A brand new part of the 1o1 (One of One) that stands for something unique, one of a kind. To create such a thing, Martin Ho embedded five concepts into an extraordinary location in the heart of Vienna. Great team, atmosphere and sitting outside while sipping a Negroni is divine, try the tequila negroni to get your night started.

MR. WOW - Three Visits Go for the fantastic and unique Peking duck created by chef Demir Babali. This is part of 1of1, which stands for something unique, one of a kind. Martin Ho embedded five concepts into an extraordinary location in the heart of Vienna. Based on the three pillars of cuisine, art and music, the 18th-century building has been transformed into a pulsating meeting place. If you're l, quickly try to get the beautiful table on the small Juliet balcony for a fantastic perspective of a typical Vienna street. A tremendous solid wine list and allow time for a beautifully made pre-dinner cocktail by Jolien.

Modern City Apartment Schwedenplatz - Three Nights Ok, the great news is these apartments are in the perfect location to explore Vienna. However, if you stay more than two or three nights, you'll find them too small and poorly equipped to cook or work. None of the rooms are the same (no drama); the Airbnb listing says all rooms are the same fit-out and size. The floor plan below shows that none have a balcony, and the preview image on Airbnb is very misleading. The bathroom is tiny.

What could be better than a Thursday wandering around the parks and streets of Vienna after finally getting our haircut after three months? This is what travel is all about getting out, seeing new experiences, and enjoying the sunshine on your face. We are fortunate to be out of isolation and back out, and about enjoying this wonderful city, Vienna, we can now walk around freely, experiencing the gorgeous parks and all the magical places it has to offer. Today, we finally received haircuts (and blonde for Sal) and roamed the city. We were very impressed. We were even fortunate enough to go shopping and support all the fantastic businesses that need our help after the recent events.

St. Stephen's Cathedral St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

Artner The best Sunday brunch in Vienna, for 49 Euro per person with unlimited wine (yes please), it's a deal that should not be missed. Make sure you book as this place is full of locals enjoying an amazing brunch that defines description. Let's just say we're aiming to go back next weekend.

Buxbaum Restaurant - Three visits This extraordinary find is located in a beautiful, quiet courtyard in the centre of Vienna. Fabulous fine dining cooked to perfection, bursting with flavour, served by a great team. A great wine list also has a solid selection of wines by the glass. It's more of a local place, so make sure you book and avoid all the crowds while surrounded by plants and stunning Austrian architecture.
