Steiners'in Gumpendorf is newly renovated and furnished (August, 2009). It is a light – filled 85 sq m. (915 sq. ft.), on the 6th floor (US 7th floor) with elevator. Built in the 70s it is set back behind a front building and therefore screened from any street noise. None of the other buildings are close and the view is of building roofs and tree tops.
The kitchen includes all new appliances: large refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and lots of cupboards and work space. The washer and dryer are enclosed in a closet in bedroom #2. The apartment has central heating and is warm and cozy in winter.
The apartment is fully furnished. It has Egyptian cotton linens and towels as well as a complete set of tableware and kitchen utensils. We have a filter coffee maker and a food processor as well as a large selection of casseroles, pots, and pans. There are maps, dictionaries, and guidebooks for your use as well as other reading, puzzles, and games.
A young and charming Viennese doctor who speaks excellent English is available to advise and assist you in making your stay in Vienna delightful.
We looked at many apartments before buying this one which we loved because of its quiet and light-filled, spacious rooms.

Map & Owner's Profile
Steiners' Place in Gumpendorf - Newly Remodeled!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Vienna
Hans grew up in the neighborhood and we love to visit to take advantage of Vienna's special "gemutlichkeit." The Gumpendorf neighborhood where we are is a wonderful example of a "gut buergerlich" (bourgeois) district with all the amenities that entails. But now young people are moving in, so there are not only traditional "Gasthaus"es and wine gardens, but internet cafes, little bars, restaurants with updated Viennese cuisine. There are still old-fashioned shops - an excellent butcher, a sublime bakery, green grocers, and much more. We eat well!
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Steiners' Gumpendorf is just around the corner from Bus 57a which comes every 10 minutes and takes about 7 minutes where it ends at the Ringstrasse, just at the Museum Quarter, and from there it is one subway stop or a short walk to the Opera or to Stephansplatz, the center of Vienna and the oldest district. The other end of the 57a line is Schönbrunn Palace, the glorious baroque summer palace of the Hapsburgs with its park and gardens. The famous Naschmarkt with culinary delights, fresh organic produce, restaurants and a Saturday flea market is in the neighborhood. The famous shopping street, Mariahilferstrasse, is the next street parallel to Gumpendorferstrasse. The great amusement park, the Prater, can be easily reached.
The world famous market with stalls selling all kinds of marvelous foods plus restaurants. Stop there on your way home from the Inner City and buy food for dinner.
One of our favorites, an old traditional neighborhood bistro with excellent traditional foods and wines. Free internet.
The City commissioned a well-known artist to do up this old building.
This line stops just around the corner from our apartment and takes you to the Inner City in about 7 minutes. Or a 20 minute walk
Owner's Map of Vienna
The apartment is owned by Hans and Judith Steiner. We live in Palo Alto, California, but Hans is from Vienna. He is a Professor at Stanford University and as retirement is coming soon, he hopes to spend more time in Vienna. Judith is a retired executive director of an environmental nonprofit and has thoroughly enjoyed remodeling and furnishing an apartment with future guests in mind. We have three grown children who also love Vienna and our 33-year old with his wife were the first to stay in the apartment. We were happy to hear that not only people of our generation love the neighborhood, but the 30-year-olds do too.
