Jana’s flat on Richard-Strauss Strasse was a comfortable, easy-to-live “Keller” (basement) apartment. The apartment was large with a separate kitchen, a large living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Even though it was in the lower floor, there was plenty of light and air with large windows that opened.
As we ate in every night, the kitchen was very important to us. The stove top had a steep learning curve but once we understood the “philosophy of the stove” we had no problems. The oven was excellent, the toaster good, and an excellent, large capacity electric kettle. The Wifi was fast and the TV had two English-language channels which we appreciated.
The washing machine was easy to use and the bathroom had adequate hot water and a wonderful towel heater which we used to dry clothes.
The neighborhood of Bogenhausen is a residential area with lots of children and is very pleasant. There is a Rewe supermarket just a few steps across the street from the flat, with a wide supply of meats, cheeses, vegetables, fruits, freshly baked bread, and frozen food. In addition, we enjoyed fresh food from the Vinzenzmurr Metzgerei, a small and very local market hall with an independent greengrocer, bakery, and butcher. They were only one block in from Richard-Strauss Strasse on Stuntzstrasse. There is an excellent and popular Italian ice cream store (Buongiorno) on the corner opposite the Böhmerwaldplatz U-bahn entrance. The U-bahn stop is a short 5 minutes walk from the flat and the 59 bus stop just outside the door.
Jana was the perfect host and excellent communicator. I particularly liked that she answered our few questions almost immediately after their being posted to Airbnb message board.
