About this property
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.

This stay was absolutely wonderful! Monika was extremely helpful when checking in and out. We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend this place to others. It was very easy to travel around the city from this location. We look forward to returning to Vienna!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this cute little apartment! Very clean, safe area, and the perfect space we needed for our one-week stay in Vienna. Monika was also a great host- met us there to show us around for check-in, and communication was great the entire time. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was very comfortable and quiet. Well designed, and perfect for short stay in Vienna. The hosts were also very amenable and friendly. They obviously take pride in their property.
The owners are super nice and accommodating people! The apt was really clean, super unique, and plenty of space for our small family. The area is quiet and close to the palace with transportation to the rest of the city just down the road. Definitely recommend!
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.
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.

Our best experience
We have stayed at VRBO properties around the world and this was one of the best. It's location is great for getting around the city. The owners live nearby and were full of helpful information as well as being very gracious hosts. We will definitely stay here again when returning to Vienna.

Very nice apartment on top floor with roof terrace.
We really liked the apartment and it's close proximity to the subway. Area around apartment is a little run down without nice cafes and resturants you would expect in Vienna.

Beautiful Modern Apartment
We had a great stay at this very clean and modern apartment. It was extremely convenient to the Johnstrasse Station and a local bakery and market. The internet worked very well and we loved having a stereo with the cds they provided. Eric and Monika were very nice and made us feel at home. The kitchen was well equipped which made it easy to make meals for our family of 4. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to 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.

Wonderful Rooftop/Penthouse Apt in Vienna
This is a wonderful place to stay on your visit to Vienna. This rooftop apartment was designed by its architect owner. Sleek lines. Hi-tech. Private elevator. Extremely clean. Plenty of space for up to 5 people. Your own private rooftop terrace overlooking Schonnbrun Palace and Vienna. Huge bathroom with awesome shower. Only 2 blocks from the tram and public transportation. And the owners are extremely nice and accommodating. Highly recommended!
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.

Amazing! Bomb! Perfect!!!!!
We booked Monika & Ericks place for our first stay in Europe and let me tell you this place is the best! It's in the 15th district and away from the touristy center area. We loved everything about the flat. Elevator, perfect! Decor, Amazing! Architecture, beautiful! Kitchen, awesome. Bathroom shower, to die for! Washer! We were able to do some laundry before we left for Prague and it was perfect.... I didn't have to go to a laundry room, the washer was right in the bathroom.
Another great part, we felt so safe in the flat. Automated doors, security chips for the elevator... This place is designed and executed perfectly. Super user friendly.
There is the most amazing restaurant right around the corner called Das Augustin! You need to go, it is so delicious!!!
Metro is literally right up the street... It's just so perfect .
We can't wait to make our way back to Vienna so we can stay here again.
Thank you Monika & Erick!

Nice apartment
We spent 6 nights in Monika's apartment and it's certainly a nice property. It's well stocked with everything you would need (iron, toiletries etc). Having a Smart TV was very nice as we could use our Amazon Prime account to watch English Television.
The location is great - just 3 minutes walk to the closest U-bahn with restaraunts and bars within walking distance.
Unfortunately we did find the apartment quite loud - the flat backing onto ours was very noisy with lots of banging around and running up and down (I assume they have kids). This did prevent us from sleeping on a couple of occasions (on the Saturday the noise went on until nearly 11pm).
We weren't aware that the host lived just across the hall from us - when we found this out we felt a little awkward as it was like we were being watched. We were actually contacted by them on one occasion and were asked to close the bathroom window. It was explained that this was to keep the flat at a certain temperature - I do think that as we are renting the property we should be able to let in as much fresh air as we like.
Unser Urlaub war super und die Wohnung war perfekt. Die Lage war top, 3 Minuten von der U-Bahnhaltestelle. Besser geht es nicht. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war super und sehr freundlich . Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht. Wir kommen gerne wieder .
L'appartement nous a plu, il est lumineux avec une belle vue, dans un quartier vivant avec des commerçants et restaurants, des transports ferroviaires, métro tramway qui vous emmène directement et rapidement dans le centre ville.
Il n'est pas très grand, mais il est pratique, il m'a fait penser à l'architecte Le Corbusier par son côté fonctionnel.
Wien zur Weihnachtszeit? Ein Traum! Und die Wohnung dazu in bester Lage, nah zur U-Bahn (Johnstr) , maximal 4 Minuten zu Fuß, ruhig, sehr sauber, alles vorhanden, was man braucht und eine so herzlicher Kontakt zur Vermieterin.
Wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt.
Lage direkt am Westbahnhof, Bäcker um die Ecke, Nahe U-Bahnstation-Grosse Markthalle, Gasthäuser und Schönnbrunn gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Lage der Wohnung über den Dächern von Wien Bezirk 15 wunderschön.
Rita und Erhard
Alles wie beschrieben. Tolle Wohnung mit 2 Terrassen. Geniale Lage. Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Das ist wichtig den hier gibt es wunderschöne Märkte zum einkaufen. Nur einige Minuten zur U-Bahn, bis in die Innenstadt oder die Randbezirke wo die Weinorte liegen.
Ein kleiner Esstisch für die obere Terrasse wäre schön. Sonst war alles in Ordnung.
