We stayed at Apartment Ruth for a week just after Christmas 2012.
My husband and I were traveling with our 2 childlren aged 8 and 10.
Ruth greeted us on arrival and she was very helpful. She took her time to go through all details with us making sure that we knew how to use the oven, TV, dishwasher, etc.
We had a rental car and had a parking spot allocated on the premises. The apartment is convenient located close to supermarkets and shops . We did have a car so did not have to rely on public transport.
It was a nice base for us to visit the old Salzburg town, Salt mines, Untersberg, Berchesgarten, Salzburg Zoo, museums, Fortress, New Years Eve Fireworks, Sound of Music sites, Wolfgansee, etc.
Unlike a hotel room/ suite, this apartment was very large and we all had lots of space to relax. The 2 bedrooms were very comfortable and it was quiet at nights.
Kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances and it had an extended area which had a dining table and 5 chairs. All very cosy to have dinner on a winters evening together via candlelight .
The living area was large and had a TV (satellite) with sofas and a Hammock. This was a great family area to rest after a day of touring.
The bathroom was older style but functional.
There was also a shared laundry in the building with washing detergent provided. So we were able to have clean clothes during our stay.
Wifi was provided and it was really good to have this. The apartment also had a desk top computer for use, but we relied mainly on our own laptop.
Overall, I give this place the thumbs up and would return again.
The only inconvenience was the clothes dryer broke down half way through our stay. This was over New Years day so was not repaired. Otherwise, the stay was great and I would recommend it for a family who needs space and comforts of home. Whilst it is close to transport, shops, etc, I still feel that having a car is more convenient if staying here.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. Sorry about the inconvenience of the dryer breaking down during the holidays . It should not happen with a Miele dryer,
Best wishes, Ruth

Dr. Ruth's Apartment was comfortable, lovely, and complete with full kitchen and bathroom.
The layout of the rooms was excellent, and there was a large living room and a very full kitchen. In addition, Ruth was available if there were any questions or issues with the apartment...she was most helpful and gracious...
The apartment is within walking distance to "Old Town" and the Historic District and if you have a car, there are ample parking garages downtown. Grocery Stores are close, if you like to cook at home . .
We loved it, and would go back in a minute when we travel to Austria again.

This apartment was very spacious and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and parking onsite was safe and secure. The internet and television/dvd worked well. It would be good if instructions were left on how to walk to supermarkets and restaurants etc. instead of just giving an address. We headed off in the wrong direction to the right street and found ourselves with a 30 minute walk to the supermarket instead of the stated 8 minutes (and we timed it on the way home and it was longer than 8 minutes). Turn right outside the apartment and not left so you don't make the same mistake. The Italian restaurant mentioned on the website is not operating. The walk into the historic centre is closer to 30 minutes and we walk briskly. We chose this apartment based on website information re walking distances and were disappointed they were inaccurate and on that basis alone, we wouldn't recommend this apartment block.
The communal washing machine and dryer work well, but instructions are not available in English - we had to google translate to work out how to operate.

I am so sorry that my cleaning lady did not leave you a map showing the way to the next bakery and supermarket and the way to the center. Usually she does. To go to the next supermarket you should have turned LEFT when goint out of the house (and not right, as you wrote in you review), go down the street until its end, turn left, cross the little bridge, turn right and at the nearby traffic light cross the street and go straight up to the Billa supermarket, which is really not more that 8, at most 10 minutes walking distance. To the center you must also have taken a wrong way, the shortest way is not more than 15 minutes. I sincerely apologise for my cleaning lady not having left you a map.
There also was an instruction for the washing mashine and dryer in the information folder in the apartment, so sorry you missed it.

Great apartment near the center which can be very easily accessed by bus or foot. Several great restaurant options nearby. The apartment was very spacious, very quiet with all the conveniences you'd expect from a rental apartment. We parked our car under our window and never needed to touch it until we left. Great place, would stay here again.
