Christian’s place is in a great location. It’s a quick walk to Neubaugasse or the Museum Quarter. On Saturdays, Naschmarkt right behind the building expands into a flee market. During my stay I would frequent Cafe Kafka, Phil, and Cafe in der Berggasse24 which are all within a fifteen minute walk from the apartment.
The neighbors were all very kind and friendly. Directly next door is a sweet, older woman. One morning she knocked on my window then painstakingly typed some instructions in the translator on my phone to warn me that the water was about to be turned off and I should fill up a bucket for the toilet. I would consistently see a friendly woman in a wheelchair taking, what seemed to be, a different dog every day around the block and a couple with a massive, fluffy malamute that looked like a panda and would lounge in the courtyard.
Struggles: not very much natural light in the apartment, not very homey (minimal decor and comforts), no dresser, WiFi is not great at times.
