This location is excellent for a number of reasons:
a) first and foremost is access to local transport which is virtually at your doorstep with the 0 and 1 trams being particularly useful and about 3 minutes from Wien Mette which is the connection to many other forms of transport like the U3/U4 and there is also a mall at Wien Mette. As seniors we bought a weekly pass for 17 euros which runs from Monday to Sunday and it was excellent value for money, although local transport is cheap in Vienna.
b) there are at least 3 supermarkets within a 5 minute walk
c) the Wild restaurant does excellent food but the service could be improved. The Cafe Menta? also on the platz is also a good hangout used by the young and our burger was good.
d) Birgit's is excellent value for money and has everything that you will need and the instructions and information she sends you is great and she even offers to drop by and answer any questions.
One warning about Vienna, it is expensive particularly the museums about 10 euros a person and the meals are about 30-50 euros for two and the drinks are expensive but if you are staying at Birgit's just on the corner is a good chinese which also provides sushi and for 15 euros you can feed yourself very well.
