I spent 6 nights at the apartment and it was a great base to explore Vienna, since it's only a 5 minute walk from the U6 U-Bahn line (subway). The subway takes you pretty much all over the city. The neighborhood isn't touristic so I had a chance to experience living like a local. There are mini-markets, shops, restaurants and beauty salons within steps of the apartment. You can hear city noise, but it's not overwhelming. The apartment is much bigger than I expected with excellent use of space. Lots of natural light with a view to a park. Comfy bed (you do need to be healthy/strong to pull it from the loft) and a strong hot shower. Central heat, WI-FI and Netflix work great. The kitchen is tiny and you need to climb some steps to access the appliances, but it is fully equipped and worked well for me (I cooked breakfast often). Chris was a great host, so generous and kind. He had a bottle of wine waiting for me and gave me lots of freebies.
