We stayed here in June 2014
On arrival in Westbahnhof train station we used tram 9 to get to the apartment. On getting off the tram the apartment is on a parallel road only a 200meter walk. There is a minor short cut through the arcade where Billa supermarket is located.
The apartment is located in a pleasant street with many small shops and restaurants. There is a small grocery store opposite and a excellent Asian restaurant two doors down. The big Billa supermarket is only 100meters away.
The apartment is decorated and fitted out to a very high standard. It was a pleasure to have breakfast in the living room and relax with some wine in the evening after dining out.
The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cooking utensils. There was a cupboard full of sauces, salt, tea, coffee and sugar. One just had to provide bead butter and juice and breakfast was served. Kateryna provided a lovely box of Lint chocolates and a basket full of coffee pods for the expresso machine. The washing machine a top loader took a few mints to figure out, drum has to be rotated and flaps interlocked, but worked perfectly.
The bedroom is at the back so very quite.
On departure as requested we left the keys inside – so no waiting for handover. We used tram 43 to get to the metro and then to the train station all easy even with the suitcases.
Lots of local restaurants we dined in Muxxu Asia restaurant Kalvarienbergrasse 35 , La Kuilla Di Mare Rosensteingasse 77 (Google maps has this located incorrectly – it is one block northwards) and Lokanta Oase Friedmanngasse 14 a Turkish restaurant about 20 mins walk. Two main courses and a few glasses of wine came to about €26 in each of these restaurants. There are many other restaurants nearby including some on Kalvarienbergrasse itself.
We used tram 43 to get into the centre of Vienna. We bought the weekly ticket in the Tabac shop across from the apt. The shop assistant took some convincing we did not want a 24 hour ticket – best print out name of weekly one which is great value. Tram 43 can also be used to connect with nearest metro stop Alser Strasse. The tram stop and metro stop are adjacent.
Tram 43 connects with tram 10 the easiest way to visit Schönbrunn Palace
