Pirkko is a warm and welcoming host. We really enjoyed our stay at her apartment. The private room is located on the middle level of her residence and access to the bathroom is right across the hallway. The apartment was very clean (sauber und ordentlich : ) As we were always on the go, I didn't make time for use of the kitchen, although Pirkko had fully offered it to us for our use. She also maintains a very lovely garden which you can either walk through or see below from your room.
Pirkko's place is located in a pleasant and quiet residential neighborhood. Being that we arrived by car, there was adequate street parking right outside her door. When exploring the city, we chose to buy a 3 day ticket with MVV, Munich's public transit authority. Within a 10 minute walk of Pirrko's place is the Pasing S-Bahn station, which is only five stops (10-15 min) away from the Hauptbahnhof and seven stops (15-20 min) from Marienplatz. I consider the Pasing station a high frequency location for public transit because there are multiple S-Bahn lines: S3, S4, S6, and S8 running through this location to the city center.
We had a grand time in Munich during the last days of the Oktoberfest with Pirkko as our host, and I would gladly return to stay at her place any time throughout the year. Thanks again Pirkko!
