''Santa Maria'' our apartment just 5 minutes walk to St. Stephen Cathedral

The apartment is very centrally located, within an easy walking distance to most major sites but in a very quiet residential area. Perfect for a couple or a small family as it really is a studio with a very large common room and a somewhat partitioned off kitchen. Well equipped. The washer is a big bonus. Very close to a supermarket and a good bakery. Two minute walk to a nice coffee shop. Plenty of places nearby to eat in or take out.

Lev is a host others need to copy: very quick response by e-mail, answers all questions truthfully, he is there when you need help but doesn't annoyingly hover. He ordered me a taxi to the airport for a very early flight and the taxi came on time (a bit early, actually!).

I would most definitely stay there again. It was perfect for me.

This beautifully renovated apartment is a perfect base for exploring the old city of Vienna. It is a short walk to St. Stephen's and a slightly longer walk to everything else in central Vienna. The apartment is done up with a great eye for detail and comfort. We would certainly stay here on any future visits to Vienna.....PC, Canada

We stayed here for three weeks in June-July 2014. (The date function in the reviews only allows me to post back to one year from today.) It was a bit of a last-minute find, but we couldn't have asked for anything better. We loved the area and the ease of taking the subway from Schwedenplatz. And once we figured out the streets, we found we could walk to popular places easily, too. The apartment was much more comfortable than a hotel, and Sahin was beyond amazing in helping us with directions, recommendations, and just welcoming us to Vienna. Our departure travel plans got seriously derailed, and he was extremely helpful on what was a very stressful day for us. We'd love to stay here again and have recommended it to family and friends.

“Absolutely perfect”

5 of 5 stars

We didn't have the opportunity to meet Mr Sahin but he made sure that his assistance Dolores was there to help us. She was so friendly to explain everything around the apartment & how to get to places. she even provided us a cell phone with local numbers, her's, Mr Sahin's, Taxi's etc.... so we felt safe in case we need anything. the apartment was immaculate. Mr Sahin thought of everything that is needed to very little things. It's located in a very safe area, 2 grocery stores right across the building, easy walk to all major attractions, & to all Metro stations. We loved Vienna & definitely if we go back again we'll stay in Santa Maria apartment.

My wife and I rented this apartment for four nights from February 13 to 16, 2013. This is a superb apartment, even nicer than the photos. It is very large, extremely modern and very, very clean and well maintained.

It is very centrally located, in the first district, about a 10 to 15 minute walk to Stepanplatz, depending on how fast you walk. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops in the vicinity, which also makes it a great place to rent.

The owner is super friendly and very helpful. He even provides you with a mobile phone, if you want to use it, to get in touch with him or even to make long-distance calls if you need to do so. He simply asks that you leave enough to cover the cost of your call.

We both highly recommend renting this apartment and we would definitely do so again. In our opinions, this is the best way to enjoy Vienna and this apartment cannot be beat.
