I feel that I made a very good choice in staying with Petra and Hans upon first arriving in Munich. Petra and Hans were very friendly and welcoming and the room is clean and comfortable.

The rest of the house is very homely and the garden, in particular is very impressive. It was very pleasant to sit each morning on the patio and eat breakfast whilst chatting to Petra before heading off for the day. Petra was very tolerant of my poor German and her English is good.

The house is easily accessible as the Harthof U-Bahn station is just a couple of minutes around the corner and whether you are arriving at the airport or the Hauptbahnhof you will have no trouble getting there.

The neighbourhood is quiet and if you are willing to cycle around then it is well worth renting a bike for €2.50 per day. Not only is this cheaper than buying U-Bahn tickets each day but it enables you to see the city properly. On Petra's recommendation I visited Feldmochinger See one day and was very happy I did.

All in all a very nice start to my time in Munich.
