Alexis’s place was cozy, warm, and in a lovely location, and she was full of great tips for local activities. The park across the road had great walks, even in wintertime, and we were close to a bus station, U-Bahn, and grocery store. Several places nearby aren’t open during the holidays or have limited hours, so for shopping you’re best bet is to go into central Munich, but that’s a short U-Banh trip away.
