Dr. Ruth's apartment located just outside downtown Salzburg was the best VRBO of our vacation through southern Germany and Austria! She was the most engaged and thorough owner that we have worked with. She gave very good directions to get to the house. There was one little glitch with door entry that was a result of VRBO sending an old email; she has updated entry with electronic locks. So if you get an email from VRBO regarding a lock box, please contact Dr. Ruth for more accurate entry info. But she responded to us immediately and got us in the door quickly! The apartment is well-furnished, comfortable and very clean. She has a binder with lots of information regarding the apartment, who to contact in the case of an emergency (something I've never encountered in other VRBO's and was very appreciated--thankfully not needed), and recommendations about what to see and where to eat in the area. We rented a car, and had easy parking available. But we also like to use public transport in a city, and were a 3 minute walk from the bus stop that was only 3 or 4 stops from the Salzburg city center. It's a wonderful place to stay, and if we make it back to this area, we will definitely see if it's available!
