Haydn's House in Vienna

While I was on my way to a local supermarket the other day, I saw a sign that said Haydn Haus which pointed left from the supermarket. I decided today to check it out and see if I could find it. To my surprise, the Haydn Haus is less than a 10 minute walk from my apartment. The house was built in 1793 and Haydn lived there until his death in 1809 (8th district). In the second picture, I am not standing crooked. That's the street! His house is hidden away on a small side street currently and appropriately named Haydngasse.

Who lives there now?
I sent you an email asking if you saw the Sovik group BEFORE I read your Thursday's entry. Guess you can ignore that question :)
