This place was conveniently located next to the market with tons of restaurants/bars and train station. The host gave us instructions how to get there, and communication was very good. We were greeted by Albian’s friend who showed us a place. Albian left some welcome goodies (water, snacks, fruits, wine) that was very nice of him (btw, only a few host do it).
The apartment has 3 rooms and it is suitable for large family. Initially we thought that it would difficult to handle 7 people in one bathroom, but it was manageable with proper schedule. This summer in Vienna as in the entire Europe was extremely hot. Only a few apartments in Vienna have AC, and be prepared that there is no air-conditioning in this flat. The host provided us with few fans, and we were prepared for the heat, but it was still quite difficult to manage. Opening windows across gave us some breeze that helped a lot.
There are a few groceries stores around, Turkish bakery, and decent Chinese restaurant is right at the same building. You can walk to the Opera in 20 minutes. Since it is my 2nd visit to Vienna in the last two years, I would discourage anybody to buy Vienna city pass and use hop on/off. Riding in these buses is not affective, it’s extremely hot, and it is not worth of paying $$ and constrain your schedule with visiting museums. Instead, consider to buy a city card (24/48/72 hours) that will give you a free access to all public transportation (that it is incredible) in Vienna and provide you discounts for museums (kids with adults are getting free in many). Use trams (1, 2, D, etc - https://theculturetrip.com/europe/austria/articles/11-scenic-tram-rides-to-take-around-vienna/) for touring in the city with incredible views.
