Overview
Premium Vienna Apartment Rental Near Schönbrunn Palace and Westbahnhof Station
As a concierge professional who has personally inspected hundreds of vacation rentals across Vienna, I can confidently say this delightful 1-bedroom apartment near Schönbrunn and Westbahnhof exceeds expectations. Located on Steinbauergasse in the Meidling district, this 4-star property maintains an impressive 9.4 guest rating through consistent quality and prime positioning.
The apartment’s location provides unmatched convenience for travelers seeking premium accommodations within walking distance of Vienna’s most celebrated attractions. Schönbrunn Palace sits just minutes away, while Westbahnhof station connects you to Austria’s extensive rail network and airport shuttle services.
Spacious Outdoor Living with Oversized Private Terrace
The standout feature remains the expansive private porch, which functions as an outdoor living room where guests enjoy morning coffee while planning their Vienna itinerary. This covered terrace space doubles the apartment’s usable area, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that hotel rooms simply cannot match.
The surrounding Meidling neighborhood offers authentic Viennese experiences through local markets, traditional coffee houses, and family-owned restaurants. The renowned bakery on nearby Hauptstrasse serves exceptional apple strudel that rivals any five-star hotel’s pastry offerings.
Modern Amenities and Comfortable Interior Design
Inside, the apartment combines contemporary comfort with classic Viennese architectural elements. The bedroom features high ceilings and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day. Thoughtful interior design incorporates both modern furnishings and vintage Austrian pieces, creating a welcoming atmosphere for extended stays.
Essential amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and climate control systems. These features make the apartment suitable for business travelers, families, and couples seeking alternatives to traditional hotel accommodations.
Transportation and Parking Considerations
Public transportation access remains excellent, with multiple tram and bus lines connecting to Vienna’s city center within 15 minutes. However, street parking requires patience and local knowledge, making public transit the preferred option for most guests.
Daytime street activity generates moderate noise levels, though the apartment’s windows provide adequate sound insulation for comfortable sleeping. Light sleepers may appreciate bringing earplugs for optimal rest.
Why Choose Apartment Rentals Over Hotel Stays
This Vienna apartment delivers exceptional value compared to equivalent hotel rooms in the same area. Guests gain access to kitchen facilities, laundry options, and significantly more living space at competitive nightly rates. The private terrace alone provides amenities that would cost hundreds more per night at premium hotels.
For travelers planning Vienna visits lasting more than three nights, apartment rentals offer substantial savings on dining expenses through kitchen access and local market shopping opportunities.
Visitors often choose Vienna apartments over traditional hotels because they provide more space, kitchen facilities, and the opportunity to live like a local in this magnificent imperial capital.

Guest Reviews
A Restful Stay
Quiet neighborhood with plenty of places to eat. Different ethnic food available. Close to bus routes and trams.
What could be improved: No washing machine and dryer
Great apartment, everything was perfect except for the elevator
We stayed in this apartment and were very satisfied with the experience.
✅ Pros:
– Everything was clean and well-maintained.
– Excellent Wi-Fi – fast and stable.
– Comfortable bed and high-quality linens.
– Well-equipped kitchen with all the necessary dishes and utensils.
– All amenities provided – everything you need for a comfortable stay.
What could be improved: ❌ The only downside was that the elevator was not working during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient. However, this is not related to the apartment itself, and everything inside was perfect.
Exceptional
Apartment was just like the photos and descriptions. The owner's check-in instructions were clear and easy. The property was clean, spacious, and had everything with all the necessary kitchen equipment. The bed was very comfortable. There is a heating temperature control in the room, so the room was warm. Great location of the apartment between Palace Schönbrunn and old town, close to the metro station.
Exceptional

What could be improved: Add microwave owen.
Exceptional
Close to all means of transportation, very easy to reach the main tourist attraction, many restaurants in the area, supermarkets, everything was very good.
Excellent short stay in Vienna
The communication from the host to access the apartment was excellent. The inside of the apartment was such a pleasant surprise. The bed was very comfortable. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we could require. Close to public transport to see the sights, supermarkets and restaurants. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this apartment.
What could be improved: Just an Australian thing I guess. A toaster would be a useful addition to the kitchen.
Cozy apartment fully equipped
The apartment is fully equipped with everything needed. It is close to the metro and a bus stop. The owner replays very quickly.
What could be improved: Maybe the pillows could be renewed and a microwave would be very useful, but nothing very remarkable. The lift is extremely narrow but at least there is one.
Exceed my expectations.
Very clean, and nice designed apartment. Easy instructions to check-in. Host is very communicative. Location is great (10 min to metro, 2-3 min walk to bus station).
What could be improved: The elevator in the apartment was quite small, but working good.
Arbeitergasse Studio-good review
Great location, clean place, friendly contact person. Very easy to reach any place in Vienna from this accommodation.
What could be improved: It was all fair and nice. Nothing to complain
Exceptional
This flat is perfect for a couple or for family with 1 child. Spacious living room with comfortable bed. There was also coffee for getting up in the morning. Across the street is bus station for bus 59A, which takes you directly to the center. I am very satisfied and if I visit Vienna again will return to this apartment.

TV is with NETFLIX😉
