I decided to try Airbnb for a 9 day stay during Oktoberfest due to the high cost of hotels during this period as well as desiring a more residential location for that period of time.
Florian was the first person to respond. His English is excellent despite my attempts to learn German. He always communicated in a timely manner. The apartment is in a great location in Schwabing with easy U-bahn access, a bus line on the street and easy walking distance to the Englischer Garten. There are many groceries, shops and cafes/restaurants in the neighborhood. Despite the commercial activity, the apartment is very quiet and the bedroom faces a courtyard. The apt is as pictured and described, with a well-equiped kitchen. It was very clean and well-supplied.
During the several months before my arrival, Florian communicated on a timely basis regarding the stay. He was present on my arrival as scheduled and left necessary contact information should there be need to contact him during the stay. Departure details were straightforward and easy.
I highly recommend Florian's apartment for those wanting to visit Munich but who wish to stay out of the busy area around Marienplatz and enjoy a beautiful residential area with easy public transportation access.
