This was my third extended stay in this apartment and I love it even more. The well laid out space was a great environment to focus on the project I was there to do, but also had room to relax and unwind. I loved the view of the church steeples for my morning coffee and the washer/dryer was an added bonus (having spent the whole month on the road).
The neighborhood has a “real people” vibe, not touristy, something that I completely enjoyed. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby: Billa are everywhere, late night food at the Schwarze Rabe, excellent Pizza at Amore, and most of all, the Heurigen. If you aren’t aware of Vienna’s wine culture and it’s Heurigen, you will discover it here. There are three in walking distance! And if you are into beer, the Ottakringer brewery is right down the street (Try the double IPA).
Public transit is widely available. The 44 Tram is right out front, it’s two blocks to the 2 tram and a short walk to the U3 at Ottakring. I borrowed a bike and was able to quickly explore the area (check out Yppenplatz) as well as ride across town to the theater I was working at in the second district in under 25 minutes.
Vienna is a wonderful city, and staying at Andreas’ place made me feel like I belong. Thank you!
