Modern, Architect-Designed Penthouse Loft With 2 Outdoor Roof Terraces

This modern, 55 square meter (550 square ft.) penthouse loft with 2 outdoor terraces, built on top of a late 19th-century apartment building in Vienna’s 15th, or “Fünfhaus” district, is owned and designed by an American, Harvard-educated architect.

Located on a quiet street in Vienna’s most multicultural district, the apartment is perfect for those looking for a unique place to stay in an interesting, diverse, up-and-coming neighborhood, removed from the typical downtown tourist areas.

Not to suggest that the apartment is in the middle of nowhere: it is only a 20-minute walk to the Schönbrunn Palace; a 3-Minute walk to the underground U3 subway station, bus, tram & taxi stand; a 10-15-Minute Subway ride to all major attractions and historical sites in the heart of the city, as well as in the thriving, fashionable 7th district (St. Stephan’s Cathedral, Vienna State Opera House, Ringstrasse, Mariahilferstrasse, Spittelberg, Museumsquartier); and a 5-Minute subway ride to the Westbahnof train station with regional / international train and airport bus connections.

This sleek, state-of-the-art loft faces a quiet courtyard and includes a large, beautifully designed bathroom with a toilet and shower, spacious living room with a fully-equipped kitchen and HDTV, and a cozy bedroom separated from the living room with sliding doors.

And to “top” it off: both living room and bedroom have direct access through large glass doors to a secluded apartment-level terrace, which is connected to another upper roof terrace with lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun and enjoying the beautiful view of Vienna!

The apartment is ideal for romantic getaways for couples, vacations for small families, as well as business trips for executives.

Lovely Penthouse Apartment
Great location, with an U-bahn station and a large grocery store both in easy walking distance. We could be in the center of Vienna by St. Stephans Church is about 15 minutes. The neighborhood felt safe, and it was very quiet at night. The apartment has lots of natural light and all the amenities one needs. The host Monika was very kind and helpful. We eiuld definitely stay there again.

Vienna for a week.
The apartment is in a nice location with only a short walk to public transportation. Monika greeted us when we arrived and explained everything to us and was very responsive when we had questions. Note if you visit during the summer when they are experiencing high than normal temperatures there will be condensation on the floors due to the AC being floor AC. The view from the rooftop patio is breathtaking. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Vienna.

Discovering Vienna
Our stay at the apartment was great. Our overseas flight was delayed and our connection missed. Monika was terrific in assisting us with a “check-in” option 2 plan that went smoothly and her assistance was so appreciated. Apartment is as depicted in listing. Located in a quiet residential area with handy grocery, bakery and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Vienna and Christmas Markets
The place was great! It was roomy and we felt very welcomed to Vienna. Although it was winter we were able to have a nice view from the rooftop. It was a short walk (2-4 minutes) to the U3, which connected us to the entire city and right around the corner from the apartment is a great bakery with coffee to go.

Lovely stay!
We loved our stay at Monika’s! The apartment was very clean and comfy. All of the necessities were there and we were happy to be close to the subway station for trips into town. Monika was easy to communicate with and we loved her recommendation for the beer garden within walking distance. The bakery on the corner was also a highlight! Thanks again Monika!

A truly delightful apartment
The apartment is very comfortable, very light due to it being on the top floor and facing South, modern and well designed, and conveniently located for visiting Vienna (U2 undeground line and 49 tram line both direct to the city centre). Also very, very quiet. Monika was most friendly and helpful. Overall, thoroughly recommended!

Wonderful!
My wife and I stayed at this apartment for two weeks, and loved it. The apartment is accurately depicted in the photos, and the floor plan works really well for a couple. In good weather the two rooftop decks are really great places to relax with a glass of wine after a long day sightseeing. The apartment is very quiet at night. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking your own food, which is exactly what we did for two weeks. We frequented the Chinese stores opposite the Naschmarkt to buy specialty Chinese veggies (suan miao and ku gua), tofu, rice, and condiments and then cooked them at the flat. Nothing like home cooking while on a long road trip! This flat is really convenient to public transportation, and it's only a few stops to anywhere you'd care to visit in Vienna. The area itself is safe, but non-touristy. It's an easy walk to Schonbrunn Palace too. Finally, the owners (who live next door) are really nice, very accommodating, and quickly reply to any correspondence, questions, or concerns. In short, we loved staying at this flat during our Vienna stay, and hope to return in the future.

Super apartment in Vienna!
Apartment was as described and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The roof top terrace had an OUTSTANDING view of the city. From the apartment to the metro was a short 2 block walk. A grocery store was right next to the metro; very convenient. It was very easy to get around the city from this location.

Great location and property
100m from Johnstraße underground on line 3. Great location. Some good restaurants locally, but be sure to book! I’d recommend Das Augustine. Everything was perfect except that the property was a little too warm. The heating control is linked to the owners adjacent property so we were limited in our ability to turn down the heating. That point aside.....everything was excellent.

Great apartment out of the downtown core.
We purposely chose to stay out of the downtown core to get a better sense of everyday living in Vienna. The location was a short walk to efficient transport to Stephansplatz. Also nearby is a grocery store and bakery/restaurant. The apartment was as depicted and we felt safe walking back from the subway at night. We arrived just before midnight and were greeted by our great host. Things I would do differently were I to repeat: arrange for cream/milk for our coffee and bring shampoo and conditioner. That said, I sipped the coffee provided as the sun shone into the windows of the apartment (after I opened the automated blinds). If you don’t want to be amongst the noise of the city action we highly recommend this apartment.

Great multi-cultural Viennese neighborhood
We loved this apartment for its location--easy walk to Schonbrunn, great bakery at the corner, 1 block from the metro and supermaket, walk to Viennese restaurants as well as excellent Turkish. And the apartment was spacious, full of sunlight, and super quiet. Will look up Monika & Eric's apartment when we visit Vienna again.

Incredible Apartment!!!
We were lucky enough to get this apartment for four days in September. It is just as described and is beautiful. It even has a beautiful rooftop deck. Located in a great neighborhood with shops and restaurants nearby. Subway is a couple blocks away and it makes it easy to get around Vienna. Monika was a perfect host, easy communication and great recommendations for restaurants. One spot, Heidingers Gasthaus, was so good we ate there twice...and we never do that on vacation. If ever back in Vienna we would definitely stay there again.
