Description of the home we are offering for exchange
This recently updated apartment offers bright, open spaces with high ceilings and is on the top level of a historic 1900s building. Its location—a short walk from Vienna's lively city center, yet in a calm neighbourhood near Stadtpark and Prater—creates an ideal balance for both relaxation and city exploration.
We have very friendly and respectful neighbours. The apartment is on the uppermost regular floor just below the attic level and comes with 2 big rooms: one is a bedroom with a king-sized bed and the other is the living room with a piano.
There's also a large kitchen-dining room that was put in 2023. The bathroom, updated in 2023 as well, has a modern shower, a bathtub, and a toilet, plus there's an extra small bathroom with just a toilet. The apartment gets sunlight in the morning and afternoon, is heated with a traditional central gas system, and has super fast internet and a high-quality Sonos sound system.
Located just steps from the city center, you are very close to the main attractions, airport connections, the biggest mall in the city (which even has a supermarket open on Sunday!), and the two biggest parks (Stadtpark and Prater).

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The area around the apartment is called "Weissgerberviertel" and sits right between the Danube Canal and Vienna's 1st district, where you find the Hundertwasserhaus - an iconic unconventional apartment building with colourful, round designs made by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
You can walk to the city center in just a few minutes from here. Also close by are the Stadtpark, Vienna's oldest park, and the Prater, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, with the famous Ferris wheel and lots of green space to chill out in.
Just two minutes away from our place, there's a great spot for Viennese food, a cozy coffee bar, a supermarket, a pharmacy, and a drugstore. When you fly into Vienna, you'll probably come through Wien-Mitte station, which is only a 10-minute walk from here. This place is also where you find the city's biggest mall and one of the 6 supermarkets that are open on Sundays!
Also, The Landstraße, a main shopping street with three malls close to each other and some of the best bakeries around, is very close. The 1st district, the vibrant heart of Vienna is just around the corner within walking distance too.
Visiting here means you're in a spot that's both peaceful and exciting, with everything you need just a short walk away. It's a great mix of the old and new, making it a perfect place to be in Vienna.
