This place is very practical if you, as I, want to visit/work at the hospital for a short period. It takes some time to get downtown but the communications are many. There are two different tram lines nearby. Both will take you to Schottentor in about 15 minutes. Those tram stations are each about 3-5 minutes walk from the apartment. Even closer is the U-bahn station at the hospital.
It's a quiet and calm neighborhood, sometimes it seems a bit too quiet. Some houses seem almost abandoned, but others have a lot of activity. For example there are several pizzerias and pubs within a 5-10 minutes walk.
The house in which the flat is situated is quite worn down, but the apartment itself is much better than the building itself. A good bathroom, nice twin bed. The floor is quite creaky, but that's the charm of an old house. The internet connection is very good, and there's even a stereo with apple airplay. The cooking opportunities are somewhat limited, since there are very few pots, no peeler, no grater etc. Simple cooking can be done though, and there is a microwave to heat semi finished products. The fridge is ok, but the freezer compartment within was in need of defrosting.
One special advantage with this flat is if you plan to arrive in Vienna late on a Saturday or on a Sunday. Everywhere in Austria it seems the shops close about 6 pm, and it's not easy to find any shops open on Sundays. However, here you can actually find an exception to this: the SPAR store at the hospital is about 5-10 minutes walk away and is open until 7 pm every day, even on national holidays.
