Sigrid was very welcoming and showed me not only the apartment but also the immediate neighborhood.

The apartment's description is accurate: it's a high-ceilinged mini-loft. It is furnished tastefully and efficiently. I particularly liked the chairs and the table. The bed and the sheets are likewise very good.

The neighborhood is very convenient for exploring the city: you can walk to Innere Stadt in about 10-15 minutes on foot. If you're crossing the town, you can take the metro, which is only a block away. Leopoldstadt is considered a neighborhood of immigrants (sort of like Queens in NYC) and demographically it probably does live up to its reputation, but of course there are many Austrians who live here, too. In fact, west of Taborstraße (i.e. a mere 2-3 blocks away) the area is getting quite trendy, with a younger/hipsterish feel – think Williamsburg in NYC or Davis Square in Boston, for those who know those cities. Also, I wanted to mention that the area feels quite safe, even at night.
