Prices are quoted as Thursday 5/24 to Monday 5/28. I know our schedule may change.
Prague Residences. Good location, wifi, washer/dryer, $450 for those dates, or about $115/night.
This is the only other one that got back to me with availability. More like $150/night and it doesn't specify if it has a washer/dryer. It's also on the west side of the Vlata, even far west than Hotel Julien.
We may have a winner. $435 + $200 refundable deposit for Friday May 25 to Monday May 28. Non-smoking. Walking distance to city center and train station. Washer/dryer in unit. Wifi. 3rd floor with a small terrace.

Laundry
I did a little research. It appears most people in Prague have a washer at home, so there are few laundromats.
It might be easier in Vienna, but could cost as much as $50 at a laundromat, who knows how much at a hotel.
I think we should plan on staying somewhere where we can do our laundry ourselves.

Vienna Hotels
Seem to be kind of expensive.
We can stay at the Suite Novotel Wien Messe for $420 for 3 nights. Fitness center, wifi, breakfast is an extra charge. It's east of city center, near the Danube. Two metros to/from the train station.
NH Atterseehaus is $150/night. Seems to be like the apartments we stayed at in Copenhagen, but without the washer/dryer. Free wifi, complimentary breakfast. It says it has a fitness center, but it appears to be one cardio machine. It's a 20 minute walk to downtown, but right on a metro line. It's probably walking distance to the train station.
NH Belvedere is $130/night. Breakfast does not seem to be included, but is available for purchase. It's got wifi in each room. There is a fitness center, but I couldn't tell what it included. I think, in general, we can expect these fitness centers to suck, which is ok. We're on vacation. It's two metros and a walk/tram to the hotel from the train station. But it is a direct metro ride to the city center.
Renaissance Wien Hotel. $160/night. Away from city center. Metro ride to city center and train station (different metro lines). Wifi in the room. Fitness center. Breakfast is not included.
I think that's good for now. Obviously there are a lot of hotels, but these seem reasonable. Seems a rental in Vienna is cheaper than a hotel. We lose the fitness center, and have to deal with additional hassles, like meeting the owner, exchanging keys, etc. I'm not sure which is "safer" - hotel or rental. Seems like it should be a hotel, but there are people in and out of your room all day.

So, What Did We Decide Saturday?
We'll be in Budapest Friday May 18 to Monday, May 21?
Vienna Monday, May 21 to Thursday, May 24? Or Friday, May 25?
Prague, Friday, May 25 to Monday May 28?
Cesky Krumlov May 28? Budweis May 29?
Prague May 30?
Home May 31?
Try to do laundry in Prague? We are open to hotels or rental places, since we don't need breakfast every morning? Man, that's a lot of variables. I'll see what I can find.

Vienna Rentals
Here's what I go so far. Vienna seems kinda spread out, but has a kick ass public transit system (if we can figure it out).
Basically looked for location, free wifi, and a washer/dryer. Figured we're not going to spend a ton of time there.
I looked at May 21-24, so 3 nights? Is that right? Anyway...
Apartment Leopold, $360.
Mozart Apartments, $330 for a 1-bedroom, $300 for a studio, although it might only have broadband internet (the kind you plug in).
This one is a little off the beaten path, but it looks nice. I don't think it's more than a mile from the old town/tourist district. He said 255.00. Not sure if that's euros or dollars. Everything on the listing is in dollars. Either way, it's not bad.
Apartment Swittalek is right near the city centre and has a confirmed washer and dryer, but it close to $400 for the 3 nights.
That's all I found that's available so far. There's a bunch of stuff on VRBO. I'm trying to keep this as close to $100/night as possible
