Thomas' place is located in the very nice opera district and is very handy to the Karlsplatz station from which you can go anywhere in Vienna. We came in by train at the Wien Hofbaunhof and Karlspatz is only two stops away. The area has restaurants and shopping, tho as a new travelers to Europe we were surprised how early things close in the evening and even grocery stores are not open on Sunday. Thomas provided photo instructions on how to get to his place from Karlsplatz, a short walk, maybe 5 minutes tho I didn't time it. His unit is on the 7th floor and is insulated from most street noise. The unit is spacious and comfortable. He does not generally meet arriving guests but does have someone managing for him who is on call. We recommend this unit for your stay!
