We had a wonderful stay at Julia's house. It is located in a beautiful suburb to the east of Munich, but on the main transport network. A few minutes walk to the 185 bus stop that takes you to Trudering station from where you can connect to the city centre via underground - very convenient and it is in zone 4 so very good value for a group day pass on the public transport system. Road connections are also good, with parking right in front of the house. The local area is very green and pleasant, with sizable houses, useful shops, cafes and restaurants a fifteen minute walk away. The house itself is lovely and airy, actually much more spacious than the photos suggest, very comfortably furnished, lots of books everywhere - we felt so at home. It is right opposite a park and a real haven from the hustle and bustle of the city. Having a pool was a real bonus in the hot weather.
Julia and Dirk were very welcoming, gave us a very clear check-in and instructions for everything including how to get into the city, where some nice bars and restaurants are. Dirk popped in during the week and made sure everything was OK, but not intrusive at all and really respected our privacy. There was a bottle of wine, milk and coffee to get us started as well as access to all the equipment that we would need to make our own meals. Beds were made, two bathrooms ready to use, even clothes washing powder and dishwasher tablets. Wifi was excellent. This is clearly a house that is lived in and we felt very honored that they trusted us with their home. We recommend Julia's place without hesitation!
