I booked this Airbnb last minute in anticipation of Oktoberfest. There was little else available within Munich at the time for a fairly reasonably cost.
Aside from the warm bed at night and the WiFi, me and my husband were overall disappointed with our stay.
Location: Not ideal. The closest line is the S-Bahn and it takes about half an hour to get into the main part of town. The S-1 runs every 20 minutes so if you miss it, that’s an extra 20 minutes added to your travel time.
There’s also little in the way of restaurants and bars in the area. The closest ones are about a 10-20 minute walk.
Place: The host uses the space as her workshop so there’s lot of brushes, art supplies and creative works in every inch of the place. It’s great as a personal space however quite unexpected for an Airbnb and does not make for a comfortable or relaxing setting.
Scent Rule: The host makes very clear in the online manual that no scents, allergies or perfumes are to be used within the place. Not a big deal but doesn’t necessarily make for a comfortable stay. We were nervous the whole time about accidentally breaking this rule somehow.
Check in time: Online check in time says 3pm and flexible. Due to traveling, me and my husband had little to zero reception and steady WiFi connection. Had tried to let her know the exact time but with train delays and bad WiFi, this was a little difficult. We got there around 5pm and were reprimanded for not giving appropriate notice of our exact arrival time. Just something to be aware of if you do decide to book this place to have constant communication and be VERY prompt.
Amenities: The host left one damp towel for us to use and didn’t provide clear details on what we were to use. Used the burner to make coffee and washer and it worked fine.
Overall: If you’re ok with all of the above, then go for it. We were looking the night before our stay and found several other places in central Munich that were better priced and appeared tidier.
I do not plan on using Airbnb again in Europe however.
