The apartment was in a quiet, calm neighborhood across the street from the metro line to the downtown area, so it was very conveniently located. There is even a restaurant/bar downstairs if you want to grab a quick meal or drink. The room was wonderfully cozy and very spacious. The best part, though, was the host. Hidemi was so incredibly hospitable and generous! She really wants her guests to relax and to enjoy her city. I had come to meet some friends (a couple) for Oktoberfest and she told me in detail the best ways to get around town and where to find the best events and the parade. She even lent me one of her own personal dirndls to wear to the festival! She has plenty of maps and information about Munich on hand. She always offered to make me tea and prepared a huge, delicious German breakfast for me each morning at no extra charge. One night, my friend got separated from her husband at the crowded festival and came home with me, because her husband had the keys to the place they were staying and she had no way to contact him. When I arrived with *a total stranger* in her house at midnight, Hidemi made sure she was all right, offered to make us some tea, and then made her an impromptu bed out of sheets and cushions so she had a comfortable place to sleep. She even offered to make two breakfasts for us in the morning! If I ever come back to Munich, I will definitely stay with Hidemi again, and I highly recommend her to others!
