Laura’s place is in Haidhausen, the French Quarter of Munich, right above a strip of great restaurants and bars - we ate at Lollo Rosso (excellent Italian) and Holy Burger (brilliant burgers!). You can catch trains very easily into town from the Ostbahnhof station at the end of her street - or you can walk in to Marienplatz within half an hour - it’s an easy and pleasant walk (even with three young kids!) The apartment itself is clean and spacious and Art Deco style, with parquetry floors and high ceilings. Laura has left little personal touches everywhere, and we were very at home here: a cot for our baby, washing detergent to use for the machine, little kids toys, a box of chocolates, fruit and milk on our arrival. There was a pantry full of staples to use, and little touches like a good luck tree for New Years and guide books do Munich that we appreciated very much. It’s a beautiful part of the city and I’d happily stay again.
