I could not have asked for a better first experience with Airbnb. Mr. Ashot was an exceptional host and surpassed every expectation that I originally had. Airbnb lists his response time within an hour, but I never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a response to one of my messages. He was also flexible with his check in and out times. My friends and I showed up around 6:15 pm on a Friday and were able to leave at a time of our choosing that following Sunday.
We stayed at Mr. Ashot's apartment in order to attend Oktoberfest in Munich. The apartment was located right next to the train station, and it only took about 10 minutes to get to Munich's central station. We were able to spend more time enjoying the festival and less time traveling to and from the apartment. Mr. Ashot also allowed us to park our rental car right outside his front door which was very convenient.
Mr. Terterian greeted us at the front door with a warm welcome and proceeded to show us the apartment. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed how clean and well kept the apartment was. The apartment was comprised of three rooms. The bathroom was spacious and neat. The toilet, sink, and shower all worked properly. There was a small room with a bed big enough for two people. The large room contained a kitchen, dining room, and a bed that could've slept three people comfortably, yet we only needed it for two.
Mr. Terterian welcomed us to Munich with three German beers in the refrigerator and a small pack of chocolate. He also purchased brand new German to American wall outlet converters and made them available for our use. He provided us complimentary wifi that worked very well. He answered every question we had about the area/Oktoberfest, and he went out of his way to provide us with resources to make our stay more enjoyable such as information regarding group train tickets and how to prepare a traditional Bavarian breakfast. (Note: There is a supermarket right across the street from the apartment. It is closed on Sundays so make sure to visit the market beforehand if you plan on using the kitchen for cooking.)
Mr. Ashot spoke english well which made the transaction simple. He was friendly and allowed us to focus on enjoying our time rather than using it to figure out how to get around the area. His wife is a wonderful artist, and they made her artwork available to us for purchase. The piece I purchased will be a pleasant reminder of an outstanding trip made more enjoyable by a wonderful host. I highly recommend contacting Mr. Ashot Terterian about staying in his listed apartment if you are ever in the Munich area. You will feel like you have a home to come back to after enjoying a day in Munich.
