Jan was a welcoming and enthusiastic host. He grew up in the neighborhood and the Sky was his first apartment with his wife so this is home for him. And it feels that way.

The neighborhood is great for visiting Vienna as a tourist without being in the middle of things. Tram 71 is two blocks away and leads to the old city in 4-6 stops. (It turns at the old city and circles it for a while so there are multiple old city stops.).

The metro is just across the street from the tram stop so it's easy to get to Schonbrunn and the airport. The Belvedere Palace is just across the park--1 block if the park is open, 2 blocks if it is closed. This is where you'll find the Klimt and other random artists...like Van Gogh.

But this neighborhood is also a residential area so you are not isolated in a hotel. This is the first time I stayed in an AirBnB outside the country (from USA) and I really enjoyed the little challenges of shopping and eating in another country.

Within two blocks of the apartment, you will find 3 bakeries, 1 super market, 2 corner markets, a pub, betting shop, restaurant and at least three "junk" shops. We walked about 4-5 blocks to a beer garden on the edge of a park.

I highly recommend Jan, his apartment and the location.
