Vienna<br />

Sweet<br />

Suite in the heart of<br />

Vienna (https://goo.gl/M8QTaS )<br />

A beautiful old style apartment in a central part of Vienna, I<br />

was in my Happy Place the minute I walked in...<br />

Parquetry floors, high ceilings, casement windows and<br />

french doors took me back to Belle Epoque European<br />

apartments like my family had in Berlin. The decor was<br />

simple but thoughtfully put together, and a lesson in<br />

minimal chic. The apartment was very "white" but that gave<br />

it a dreamy ethereal quality, especially at night when the<br />

quirky lighting created pretty effects on the walls & ceiling<br />

My Host Sandra was there to greet me and was every bit as<br />

gracious as the apartment. She had a bottle of my favourite<br />

prosecco waiting for me in the fridge, and spent time<br />

helping me to orient myself with maps and advice on public<br />

transport before disappearing and leaving me to it for the<br />

next 3 days. We kept in contact and she was wonderfully<br />

helpful at all times. Highly recommended!<br />

Prague<br />

Best local experience in Prague ( https://goo.gl/8Agx5 )<br />

This was an in-home hosting experience, but the apartment<br />

was enormous and I had my own suite of bedroom,<br />

lounge/dining and ensuite bathroom (see pic below).<br />

The apartment was very similar to the previous one in<br />

Vienna: same age, parquetry floors, spacious, light and very<br />

European. M&J could not have been more helpful and<br />

welcoming... SuperHosts indeed!<br />

The apartment is in the heart of the Old Town, a delightful<br />

thousand-year-old labyrinth of ankle-breaking cobblestoned<br />

streets, Absinthe dens and inappropriately located<br />

Thai massage parlours in fresco-facaded buildings. The<br />

place is honestly so old, it makes the Colosseum look avant<br />

garde! For a look at the modern part of the city, go to the<br />

New Town which is veritably next gen as it only dates back<br />

to 1350 AD!<br />

Take one of the free walking tours from the town square to<br />

learn about the age-old Czech pastime of Defenestration<br />

(google it but be warned... it will mess with your head!) and<br />

tour noted landmarks where this quaint custom was<br />

practiced. Prague is the most walkable of cities, and I swear<br />

I came back 6 inches shorter as a result!<br />
