Ben and his family are wonderful hosts - warm, friendly, with a lovely room (and living room and balcony and private bathroom) for guests. They gave us great tips about what to see in Munich. It takes less than half an hour from Marienplatz including both the train and a short walk from the station, but it's really nice to stay in residential Munich. There is an amazing restaurant nearby with really authentic food and beer and a garden setting overlooking a lake... Highly recommended.
