My small daughter especially loved Sanna's apartment: the loft, the little balcony, the low sky lights in the kitchen & bathroom which open up those rooms to the sky. We stayed a long time, the whole summer, & it was perfect for 2.
Public transportation is great from the 3rd zone there. We rode bus 57 from Benediktesrr. which is a block from Sanna's to Laimer Platz (took 11 min) where there is a great Rewe supermarket & then connected to the U5 or to other buses. If we rode bus 57 for four minutes in the other direction, we could get very close to the Tenglemann supermarket on Weinbergerstr. or ride the 57 for ten min to Pasing Bahnhof where you could catch the Sbahns & some long distance trains.
Once the tram, I think it was the purple #19, is up & running, that will be even better!
If you ride the U5 from Laimer Platz, you are maybe 10 min to Hauptbahnhof which connects you to everything! So it's pretty quick to get to Munich from Sanna's.
The bus stop after Sanna's stop is Westbad---one of the public pools. That was convenient with a 7-yr-old.
The really close beer garden which is next to Sanna's bus stop, Benediketstr., was super-convenient. Sometimes we came home, tired from Munich, & would get a half a roast chicken for 5.50€.
Sanna's apartment building is very well-maintained both in and outside & is very quiet & safe. There's 4 apartments per floor, 3 floors, & the residents, rather mature in age, were very kind and friendly to us. Sanna has a washing machine in the basement, and the apt. has wi-fi and TV in her apt on the top floor of the building.
The gem, we found by accident when we were riding bikes, is the little stream along the bike paths behind the aforementioned Tenglemann... Close to Pasing center-city. It is on the map--I just don't remember what those bike trails & foot trails are called. It's just beyond the Tenglemann when you're coming from Sanna's. The stream is quiet, gentle, & shallow. We waded in it for hours on hot July days as did a number of locals----but not like the crowds that the Isar River draws!! This stream is shaded by trees, relatively remote, & great for families with small children since this stream could never wash the kids away!! It's an inch deep in parts, and mid-calf in other parts. It's slow-moving & a place you can spend the entire afternoon if you bring a picnic. We wore our "aquatic shoes" which we'd brought from L.L.Bean at home. This stream was my favorite thing about Pasing.
