Sandra’s place was a great fit for a short-term stay! She was very accommodating for us reserving last minute, as we got stuck with a reroute to Munich during the Barcelona protests, which we REALLY appreciated! She does have two cats so if you are allergic or don’t like cats, this is not the place for you!
Positives:
-One of the most comfortable queen sized beds I’ve slept on (soft, not super firm). Cats aren’t allowed in the guest bedroom.
-Cute living room for hanging out (aka the cats room LOL they are nice though)
-Very clean
-Balcony for relaxing
-Water provided upon arrival
-Easy check-in process with self-check-in
-Everything you could need to cook in the kitchen, fridge, etc.
-Dishwasher and clothing washer in apartment
-Flexible check-in and check-out
-AWESOME german restaurant down the street called “Zum Aindorfer”. Would highly recommend!
-Two grocery stores (Rewe and Penny) within a 5 min walk from the apartment. Rewe is nicer, Penny is cheaper.
-Near public transport “Laimer Platz” ubahn and a long walk or short bus to the s-bahn station “Laim” connected to the airport line
Areas for improvement:
-The heavy incense to cover the cat pee/poo smell in the kitchen made it kind of hard to use the kitchen, and hits your nose right when entering the apartment
-Odd smell in the bathroom
-Feels like you are staying in her apartment vs. an airbnb without personal photos and belongings, in case that’s not your vibe
-Couldn’t get the check-in video to work and WIFI was pretty slow/in and out within the apartment
-Somewhat of a slow response from the host
-No SMART TV to watch Netflix. German channels only.
-Location is not super city center, but IS located near the u-bahn station Laimer Platz and the s-bahn station Laim (there are bikes at the station to rent too) as well as bus connections, which makes getting into the city pretty easy.
-I would recommend putting the trash bins (the Germans split all of their trash by item) in the same location to make it easier on the guest
-Having to ensure the cats don’t get outside
