We loved our 3 month stay in Benjamin's place!! It is in a typical old charming Viennese house with lots of character. It faces 2 beautiful old Viennese houses which is a pleasure to look out to. There is lots of light, space and everything is comfortable. From the cute kitchen window you can get air and breeze and enjoy looking out to another old quirky building, and the little shared balcony facing the Hof. This balcony was great .. morning sunshine and afternoon shade, and some beautiful roses to enjoy. The flat is in a district (2nd district) which is steeped in history and culture, and is extremely varied, interesting and quirky. There are interesting shops, restaurants and services tucked in every street. It is right near the Karmelitenmarkt, a well known and loved area in Vienna, which is really alive on Saturdays with the farmers markets. Many places for coffee and food there. It is a nice active neighbourhood, but the apartment is really quiet. It is just a short walk to the U2/U4 underground, and a nice walk to the number 2 tram on Taborstrasse. For the old city, you don't even need the transport .. it is just across the canal. Close to Augarten park and Prater. If walking is a problem for you, just note that the flat is on the second floor with no elevator, however the steps in these old buildings are not deep, so much easier to use … I managed well with a sore knee. We will stay at Benjamins when we are in Vienna again for sure, if it is available. It feels like a home away from home for us. We were a bit sad to leave.
