The place is located in a new city area across the river. Yet, it is very well connected to the downtown. There is a railway station in a few minutes walk from the house. A direct train takes 17 minutes to the main station. In 10 minutes walk from the house (or one tram stop) there is a metro station. The U2 line which goes all the way under the ring (main street) to the square where the Vienna Opera is located and the main promenade begins. Other stations of this line take you to the museum quarter, parliament, magistrate and the imperial palace, Hoffburg.

All kinds of food stores are available in 5 to 10 minutes walk from the house. Starting with inexpensive Hofer to the "all-you-can-think-of" Merkur.

A large shopping mall can be found in a couple metro stops and is called Stadion Center. Take a prepaid A1 SIM card there. It costs 20 euro and comes with 20GB 3G traffic. "Teddi" on the second floor offers all the stuff you forgot to take with you at 1-5 euro.

The place itself is medically clean. Has all you need including a great espresso machine with a set of complimentary charges. Gabriele seems to care a lot of her guests and puts a lot of thinking into what they may require. We found mineral water, cream, fruits, candies there, the flat was thoughtfully decorated for Christmas so you get in the mood immediately.

We also liked floors with heating and large ceiling windows in which you can view the moon and stars at night. The area is very quiet. I finally get a good and peaceful sleep in a long time.
