The location is great. It was a little difficult with the luggage and stairs but we made it. The host allowed us to drop off luggage before check in which was helpful. Once we learned the difference in using tram 43 or the train it was great. Tram 43 is perfect and will take you straight to city center and back. The tram is right outside the Hernals station on the street. It appears every few minutes. The train is located inside the Hernals building. After asking a few non English speaking people we were finally able to determine where to get on tram 43. Very short walk to and from the apt. Lots of eating places and grocery stores within walking distance. The apt was nice and clean. My only suggestion is to add a TV to the bedroom. Most Americans prefer a TV in the bedroom especially if you have other people sharing the apt.
