Goldhammergasse 31

We live at Goldhammergasse 31, 1232 Wien. We live in the last district, district 23, almost out of Vienna. Although technically part if Vienna, it is more like the suburbs than anything else. We live in a house and we have the basement (really the ground floor) to ourselves. Our room is like a little apartment, with a sleeping/living area and a small kitchen off to the side. We are lucky; we have our own fridge, sink, cupboard space, and a little cooking appliance that has a dinky toaster oven with a tiny hot plate on top. This is good- now we don’t have to eat out every meal.
The only unfortunate part about where we live is that it takes quite a while to get downtown, to school and other cultural events. On Saturday we took the route to school to make sure we could do it on Monday and to see how long it would take; it took about 45 minutes. Our route is as follows: we take bus 64A from the stop at the end of Goldhammergasse (a three to four minute walk) to the Alterlaa U-bahn (subway) station, about five stops away. There we get on the U6 line and head towards Floridsdorf; we take this five stops until Langedfeldg where the U6 and U4 lines intersect. There we get off U6, cross the platform to the waiting train, and take the U4 line headed towards Heiligenstadt an additional five stops till the Karlsplatz stop. From there we walk about ten minutes to our final destination, the AAIE.
