CENTRAL APT IN ANDRÄ DISTRICT AT THE BEGINNING OF PEDESTRIAN ZONE LINZERGASSE

The most impressive aspect of this apartment is Walter. He communicated well prior to arrival and was extremely helpful after we arrived. His English was excellent and his enthusiasm for Salzburg was catching. Walter picked us at the train station, helped with finding trains from Venice to Salzburg and recommended things to do in Salzburg. Salzburg is a wonderful city. Please visit the fortress and then take the walk to the beer garden. Walter recommended this and we did not regret taking his recommendation. We also recommend Maria's Bicycle Tours, a unique bike tour of the Sound of Music sites. Find the tour at the Mirabell gardens. It was a lovely way to visit Salzburg and its outskirts. Just remember to pack an umbrella for Salzburg's weather (at least in the summer) has rain showers that are short lived, but real.

The apartment layout was fantastic and was supplied with great gadgets including a remarkable shower with multiple shower heads -- a real treat. The beds were comfortable, and a super market is located just below. It is located less than a 15 minute walk from the old town.

Despite all of these positives, we cannot give it a 5 star because it was very noisy. Sleeping was a struggle as a major street is located right beneath the large glass windows. In addition, we were woken up by yelling of neighbors fighting (something the owners cannot control). If the apartment had air conditioning, we would have been able to close the windows, but Salzburg was hot and experiencing 87 degree heat.
Overall, the experience was good and Walter had the best communication skills of all the owners we rented from in Europe. (We were on an 8 week vacation).
