Florian is a very accommodating, helpful, and interesting host. It was always fun and enlightening to talk with him. The apartment faces an inner courtyard, a very green one at that, so there is no noise from the street in spite of the building's relative proximity to a main thoroughfare and light rail (S-Bahn) track. There are several tram and light rail transit options 3-5 minutes by foot from the house, and multiple grocery/dining possibilities within a 12-15 minute walking radius. For solo travelers and couples, public transportation in Vienna is inexpensive, convenient, and has some of the best signage I've seen anywhere. Museum admissions and food are also generally somewhat cheaper than in many large European metropolitan areas. There are probably a hundred reasons Vienna has topped the global Mercer list of most livable cities nine years in a row, but even a casual visitor is likely to stumble upon some of them just by walking around the city core, taking in the sights, and living like - even if only for a brief moment - a lucky Viennese citizen.
