When flat-hunting in Austria, people go by number of rooms (basically bedrooms + living room, but not kitchen, bathrooms or hallways) and, just as common, square meters (m²). Take a look at the classifieds in the papers, eg http://derstandard.at/Immobilien (chose Wien - Wohnungen - Miete in the three pulldown menus.) 1200 EUR will get you plenty of offers, and not just for one-bedroom appartments.
You might also want to consider the district the flat is in, of course. Very, very broadly speaking: Nobody lives in the 1st district (well, obviously some people do, but its neither much fun, in my opinion, nor would I be able to afford it), the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th: Much depends on the actual neighborhood, or even city block, some nicer ones, some I wouldn't want to live it, can't generalize. Most of the 7th, 8th, and 9th district are a good places to live, not (much) too expensive and close to the city center. The 10th, 11th and 12th districts are somewhat less desirable. The 13th is very desirable, but also very expensive, also a little remote, same for 18th and 19th, actually even more so. Districts 14 - 16 I wouldn't recommend, 17 can be OK, 20 - 22 are largely working class and relatively remote from the city center. 23 is OK, although remote. If you go for the suburbs, the south of Vienna is generally considered the most desirable direction, followed by the east, west and north, in that order.
Good luck, and don't hesitate if you have any followup questions!
EDIT: If you really only want one bedroom, consider a two room appartment, ie generally one walk-through living room, a separate bedroom, and in most cases a bathroom and a kitchenette. This usually means 40 - 60 m², unless you go for the top end of the market, don't pay more than ~500 EUR per.
EDIT2: Either I overlooked it, or you added it later, but if youR'e only looking for three months, yes, you will want a furnished appartment. See tips and addresses below. |
