We requested to book this place very last minute, and Alex and Karolin were quick to reply and accept. The home is several stories and the top floor is all yours, which is nice when you're staying with a family and don't want to be too loud and bothersome.

You can tell the hosts have traveled a lot because there were a lot of practical details in the room. Lots of books, coffee pot, dishes (so you don't have to go all the way down to the kitchen) and washing machine in the private bathroom (2 euro a wash).

The home is in a lovely residential neighborhood with lots of free street parking. We drove into the city once with our car, but then took the train the next couple of days to avoid paying for parking in the city, and that was a pretty close walk from the house.

The place was comfortable, but it was the hosts that set it apart. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and eager to give tips. Also, a local Munich welcome beer was a nice gesture.
