Helena did everything in her power to accommodate my request for an early check in and gave a very warm welcome, providing me with everything I needed, from towels, slippers and a robe, to a case stand with hanging space and even a selection of fruit on the table.

The apartment is well located for the Ostbahnhof and her style is very unique and charming. You can tell she is very clearly a cat lover, and the resident cats are the largest I have seen in the flesh. Please note that there are quite a lot of stairs to climb leading up to the apartment and the hallway is large and so echoes as you use the stairs. Something to bear in mind if you have a lot of luggage or are trying to leave with a lot of luggage while others are still sleeping. If the building had a lift, I did not see it, but given the grand staircase, I would not have expected to find one.

I would certainly consider returning if I ever venture to Munich again, that bed really is as comfy as it looks.
