I stayed here for 3 months while I completed a summer internship. It was a wonderful experience! Johanna is a fantastic host and roommate. She's very interesting to talk to and is a very curious and open person, interested in learning a little something about her guests. Since I had a longer stay, we really got to know each other pretty well.

At the same time, Johanna is also very respectful of your privacy. This contributed to a very quiet and relaxing home environment. I worked during the day and often went out on weekends, but I could always be sure that the apartment would be where I could relax. Johanna is also very accommodating, letting you use just about anything in the apartment--anything in the kitchen, the TV, radio, etc.

The apartment itself is nice, clean, spacious, and with a perfect location. It's a short bike ride away from the Englisher Garten, it's next to a nice quiet lake with lovely walking/biking paths, and it's a short walk away from a grocery store, bakery, pharmacy, and U-Bahn station. On Saturdays there's also a farmer's market nearby. The apartment also has reliable and fast internet connection (there is a LAN cable in your room and wi-fi in the living room).

I also got to meet some of Johanna's family members, since I had such a long stay. Her sons Thomas and Andreas are very friendly and her grandchildren are adorable! I also got along well with her sweet dog Mucki. Mucki was a little nervous upon first meeting me, but she warmed up to me pretty quickly.

By the way, although I've written this review in English, I actually almost always spoke German with Johanna. I'm learning German and Johanna was always very patient with me, correcting me when necessary and helping me slowly improve! I appreciated that a lot.

Danke für alles, Johanna und Thomas, und ich hoffe, dass wir einander wieder sehen!
