The apartment is even larger than online pictures suggest, very clean, and overlooking a private courtyard on a very quiet street. There are two flights of spiral stairs to navigate with luggage but it is worth the climb. The airport shuttle referral is also punctual and recommended.
There is excellent shopping and dining in nearby Neubau, Laimgrube, and Spittelberg neighborhoods, but not much in the immediate area. There are plenty of good Spar and Billa grocery stores nearby but they do close early and on Sundays. The staff is friendly and welcoming at the nearby Backbone Irish Pub and we enjoyed dining at Momo, Pho 84, and Restaurant Petit Maroc.
The underground is about a 12 minute walk in either direction but is very scenic along Burggasse towards Volkstheater station. There are plenty of good vintage furniture and decor stores in the area, notably Nichts Neues, Vintagerie, and the one next door to the Café Comet. The vintage poster store at Irenaeus Kraus is also worth a look.
