Mostly positive experience – some glitches – things to know
I mostly enjoyed staying in this apartment but there are some points that were irritating. First, the good things:
1.	The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, close to the subway and very near a beautiful city park for walks and jogging. Many nice restaurants and also very quiet and not very touristy.
2.	The studio is very well-equipped and exactly as described – the pictures are accurate.
3.	The apartment is well-maintained generally.
The less good:
1.	The check-in process is rather convoluted. Make sure you have absolutely everything written down. My cell phone battery had died, and I could not access absolutely all the details, especially the second of 2 codes needed to get the key.
2.	When I could not turn on my phone, I managed to find someone at a nearby business who let me use his phone to call Alex, but my calls went to the voicemail. I had to unpack all of my things to find my phone charger in this guy’s place of business to access what I needed. It was frustrating that I could not reach Alex on day of check-in.
3.	I also tried to reach Alex a day later to ask a question, and he replied 17 hours later saying he was on vacation and had poor email connection. Apparently, no one was covering for him. I found this annoying, and rather unacceptable.
4.	Check-out is 10 am. As I understood,there is no way to leave suitcases anywhere, so you have to take everything at that point. Luckily, one of the tourist sites I was visiting had a luggage locker, or I would have been stuck with my luggage on my last day in Munich from 10 am onward.
5.	There is no elevator in the building and no one around to help with check-in, so you are on your own with whatever luggage you have. Plus, you need to climb up one long flight and walk down another flight to get to the apartment.
Overall – good price and great location, well-maintained. Well-equipped. Alex needs a back-up plan and maybe a way to offer help to people checking in.
