Manuel’s place is exactly as described. It is very conveniently located on the first floor of an apartment building. Its close proximity to the metro station is a definite bonus. There is a lovely bakery just around the corner and an Italian restaurant at the end of the block. The neighborhood is calm and nice.
I had to change my check-in time at the last minute due to missing a train and Manuel was very patient with me. We problem solved together and he made alternative arrangements for my check in. Ultimately, it all went very smoothly.
There was some construction on the building during my stay so I couldn’t sleep past about 8:00 most days, but that was just my bad luck and certainly not Manuel’s fault. The construction seemed to be minor so will probably be completed very soon if it isn’t already.
Should I travel again to Munich alone I would stay in this flat. It’s certainly tiny, but cozy nonetheless and a good value especially if you’ll be out and about all day.
