Wonderful holiday.

I stayed for 10 nights at Angela's apartment. Her sister Lydia met me at the apartment and showed me round.

The apartment is situated in the 16th district (Ottakring) It's in a multi-cultural environment just round the corner from the famous Brunnenmarkt ( Permanent street market ) I walked daily through the market to the Zielpunkt Supermarket three blocks away. I got everything I needed in one or the other.

The flat was superb and the Wi-Fi excellent. Although it might seem a bit far out of the city, you can catch Tram 2 from outside the Josefstädter Straße Metro station. That will take you straight into the city. Three stops and you're at the Rathaus ( City Hall ). My favourite 'chill out' place was the island at Donauinsel. Tram 2 to Oper and change onto U-Bahn 1 (Red) in the Leopoldau direction. You really are well connected to the city.

One day the electric 'tripped out' on me but a quick phone call to Angela soon told me how to fix it. In the top cupboard nearest the flat entrance door on the left as you go out there are two trips. Just push the dark inner button(s) firmly back in.

A great time, thank you Angela & Lydia. If I'm back in Vienna I'll be looking to go back to Angela's flat.
