This is a great spot in a great part of town. Other reviews are pretty accurate in their descriptions of the place. The apartment is down in a "cellar" area of the building, however there is still access to the exterior from the apartment. Other reviews stated that there was a musty smell, but we didn't smell that. There was a dehumidifier in the unit tucked away in an unused corner near the front door (rarely seen or heard) so maybe that is what they have started using to get rid of the musty smell.
I will say that communication with the host was excellent. My wife and I decided to rent a personal hotspot during our European vacation, and this apartment in Munich was our first stop. Shipping the hotspot to the U.S. was going to cost an extra $20 or so, however, shipping to anywhere in Europe was free. I was able to work something out with Johanna, one of the hosts, to where the package would ship to her. I was told that I would be unable to ship the package directly to the apartment as the mail slot was not large enought to accommodate the package. I ended up shipping the package to Johanna's personal address...and it was waiting for us when we arrived to the apartment!
The apartment description and pictures were accurate. Nothing surprising about the apartment, for the better or worse. I did see other reviewers complain about the windows facing windows from an office space and the lack of privacy/shades. There are shades that can be drawn to provide privacy, however, it is not immediately clear when entering the apartment or by looking at the pictures posted. The shades are mounted on the EXTERIOR of the windows, and extend/retract vertically. When they are retracted it is pretty much impossible to tell they are there when viewed from inside the apartment. There are buttons to extend the shades from inside the home, similar to light switches. The shades are powered meaning you don't have to manually extend and retract them.
My wife and I were very happy with the place and with the hosts. We felt that the price accurately reflects the apartment. We would stay again and would recommend the place to others.
