My husband and I rented the Salzburg apartment and could not believe our luck. Right in the heart of the Old Town, you are only a short walk from the many attractions Salzburg has to offer, the new town is within a 5-10 min walk and the local railway station a 30 min walk or 10 min bus ride away. For those who wish to see the surrounding areas (Zell em See is well worth a visit in winter or summer, plenty of walks for none skiers, €28 Euro for up to 5 adults, day return by train (Prices, Dec 08). There are also various places of interest along the route but during the summer months only, please check with the local information centre.
The owner of the property was very helpful and provided us with information on the local supermarkets, bars, and restaurants available and location of the public information centres. On request, a DVD player and laptop computer were provided during our stay for no extra cost.
The apartment itself is on the top floor but the ascent if full of charm and character as the building dates back to 1374. It is very clean and spacious with a microwave oven, washing machine, TV, and separate bathroom. The walk in shower was better than ours at home!! We thought that the apartment may get cold considering some nights it was minus 10 outside but it always warm and cosy, sometimes too warm so we had to open a window!!
Our favourite restaurant was Steinbrau, this is a building with many restaurants inside all decorated differently but serving the same menu. The staffs were very friendly and helpful and the food lovely. There is an all you can eat Chinese Buffet just off the main shopping street, which has plenty of choice and reasonably price.
As you leave the apartment turn right and then right again there, are two restaurants opposite one another both serving a selection of traditional food and a Mexican restaurant (similar style to Nando's in the UK) which is also very nice. Please note that the food in Austria is very Austrian, the Chinese and Indian food served is authentic, and not the rubbish you have in the UK.
I would recommend this apartment to any of my family and friends travelling to Austria and cannot wait to return there again in the near future.
