the Flag is between two stations that are both a few minutes away on foot. Georg is easier to get to than olympiaeinkaufszentrum but there is so much to do in the latter because it is one of the biggest shopping malls in Germany. The beautiful Olympic park (BMW expo) is two stations away and is definitely worth a visit. Which ever Ubahn line you take, Munich center is only ~15-20 minutes away. Close to the shoppingmall/Ubahn station there are plenty of places to do your groceries. Netto, Lidl, Aldi, Edeka are all near by with various options for groceries. everything closes on Sundays but for emergency, mcdonalds and kfc are close by. Personally I stayed for two months while commuting to LMU and Deutschakademie and both were SUPER easy to get to.
Rooms are as seen in the pictures. comfortable bed, kitchenette (decent enough to cook your own food but no hoodfan or microwave or oven), nespresso machine (buy your own pods after the complimentary ones run out), private and modern bathroom with a hair dryer and there is a motorized blinds outside the window for privacy.
there is a gym, which is useful. laundry is easily managed by the wewash app (have to pay 5 eur for washing and drying, drying in the apartment is not allowed). the garbage and recycling are in the basement.
staff were (mostly) great too. there is always someone at the reception 24/7. They gave us the paperwork for Anmeldung process which we managed to do the day after we checked in. Amazon deliveries and mails are collected at the reception so you interact with them quite often if you order many packages. they are friendly and speak english perfectly well. one or two of them were less patient and easily irratated but still professional.
Cleaning is done every week where they change the towels, bed sheets, pillows , and clean the floors and bathroom. This maybe the only non-perfect part for us. The cleaning time varies drastically, so it was difficult for us to gauge when the housekeeping team will arrive. They sometimes start early in the morning and sometimes after 5pm. They sometimes clean the floor and sometimes not. They sometimes leave one pillow and sometimes two. They sometimes top up the body wash and sometimes not. these are the only small complaints we had, but they still came every week and changed our towels and beddings which are the most important.
In the end, we were not able to find an apartment to move into by the end of the 2 months so we wanted to extend our stay in the Flag, but that was much more expensive than the AirBNB price, so we moved to another temporary location. If the price was more reasonable, definitely, we would have stayed and extended. it was all in all a very pleasant experience!!
