Hello! I've spent six months in the Veit's apartment when I stayed in Vienna for an internship. The apartment is very cosy, warm and comfortable. It has a great view, waking up in a sunny day is magnificent since the sunlight directly touches your face and softly wakes you up! The location of the flat is not central but, surely, it does not mean it is bad. I was working in the city centre near the Danube and daily I was spending max. 25 min by underground - in 5-7 min walk from the flat in different locations, there are three metro stations (Schönbrunn, Meidling Hauptstraße and Längenfeldgasse - all are line U4 (Längenfeldgasse is both U4 and U6)). Another way to reach the city centre is by bus 57A which stops just in 2 min walk from the house and goes to Burgring (next to Maria-Theresien-Platz where two big famous museums are located - Natural History and Art History). The cultural sights around the flat are also pretty famous - the marvelous Schönbrunn Palace (where the zoo is located and one of the Viennese Christmas markets during the winter) and Technisches Museum (Museum of Science and Technology). On the street where the flat is located there are also several shops - supermarkets BILLA, Penny, Yedigün Supermarket (with quite good vegetables and fruits) and also BIPA (shop with beauty, hygiene and health products). Moreover, the streets nearby have other supermarkets and also some restaurants and a very good coffee place (just in 10 min walk up from the house).
All house utensils are in their place - an iron, kitchen appliances (electronic kettle, coffee machine (for capsules and a moka pot), stuff for cooking (pots, baking forms, bowls, etc.), great variety of cleaning supplies (located in a separate cabinet hidden in the wall), lots of table- and glassware, bed linens, towels, everything is set. The heater inside the flat works perfectly, although you may need Veit's explanation turning it on for the first time because it has quite uncommon mechanism. The washing machine (there are two of them) and the dryer are on the lower ground floor and are available for the whole house, but, to be honest, it seems that most neighbours have their own washing machines as for all six months I didn't have any problems with accessing the communal washing machine and the dryer and I only met one neighbour using these machines a couple of times during my whole stay. You will need to bring your own washing supplies (capsules/powder/etc.) and one euro to turn on the machines. It may sound like a complicated procedure but it is not and for doing the laundry once a week it is completely fine in my opinion. Inside the flat there is a drying rack.
Veit is a very lovely person! On the day of my arrival, he met me outside the building and made a detailed tour around the house and showed everything inside the house and the flat. When I had a couple of issues, Veit was very quick in responding and helping to solve them. Moreover, when I left Vienna for a week during the winter and turned off the heating, Veit kindly offered to come by before my return to turn on the heating back - it is a small but very nice thing, so many thanks to him again! Besides, I was forced to urgently leave Vienna ealrier than I planned and Veit was very kind to change his own plans and come to say goodbye and even made me a personal favour in the end (due to the urgent departure, I didn't have enough time to hand in a public transport card and Veit kindly agreed to hand it in for me). So yeah, Veit is a very responsive and caring host - many thanks to him again!
I am definitely recommending the Veit's flat for anyone who is staying in Vienna regardless the duration - it is equally good for short-term and long-term stays, in my opinion.
