The apartment is in Kaisermühlen, a tree filled neighborhood across the Danube from Leopoldstadt.
Plenty of small food stores, restaurants, and bars. I walked to the Inner Stadt over the Reichsbrücke a few times.
Mass transit is great. Right outside the front door of the building the bus pulls up every five minutes in the daytime. It’s a five minute drive to the U2 line. In the other direction less than ten minutes to the U1. I don’t think I ever had to wait five minutes for a U-Bahn train.
The apartment is very large. It’s set up for S&M. I came for a German course so it was just novel decorations and art from my perspective. But the cage and St Andrew’s cross with restraints ought to work well for couples trying to get something kinky into their lives.
The electric goes out about once a day. Just throw a breaker to start it. I bought a little rice cooker that I used like an Instantpot but I was there two months. Plenty of restaurants around. One in the building!
Elitsa is very helpful. Whatever you need. As an American I love old things and the Ben Franklin style key to get into the apartment delighted me. And I thought the supersized blood red candles around the apartment made me feel like I was in a European vampire film. Super tall ceilings and windows too. Thick walls if you want to scream.
If you want to be close to everything time wise (20 minutes on mass transit to Karlsplatz) but want a more relaxed vibe and the long park along the Danube and the beach then this place is for you.
