This is a great apartment in a neighborhood perfect for exploring Vienna. Just on the edge of the central tourist areas you have streetcar (tram) and bus stops within eyesight of the building's front door and Westbahnhof a quick tram or walk away (7 minutes on foot). Take the 60 tram the opposite direction from Westbahnhof and within minutes you're at Schomburg Palace, a perfect place to take an evening stroll round the gardens. With this apartment you're in the heart of the city but you'll wake up to the sound of birds chirping as if you were in the countryside. Noise is never an issue and Mariahilfer Straße never has much traffic, even at rush hour. There are grocery stores steps away in either direction as well as great restaurants and funky locally owned shops. Having Westbahnhof so near by is handy not just for accessing the Ubahn (Lines U3 and U6) and many key tram lines and trains, but also gives you shops open late and on weekends when other shops are closed. This a great location all round and if I'm back in Vienna I would stay there again.
