New to Airbnb, I sought a place, which could ease my nerves about staying in a stranger’s home while simultaneously housing three adults comfortably. Ann-Kathrin had the first part down with quick and apt replies to all my inquiries. While I didn’t meet Ann-Kathrin personally, she made us feel very welcomed from her hand-written notes to her handy dandy welcome doc. The home is lovely! It’s a home away from home that looks like the pictures but is bigger, brighter, and smells great! We’d definitely book it again.

A few things to note: the sofa bed in Jonathan’s room is a bit small for a tall adult so a safer and more comfortable option is to sleep on the couch. The bedroom window faces the main street, which can get noisy at night if you’re sleeping with the windows open. There’s a huge empty dresser in the bedroom for all of your clothes. Some of the outlets in the home have childproof safety locks on them. The door to the balcony can be opened as a window so don’t fret if it slants inwards when you’re trying to open it (it’s not going to fall on you). The shower/tub has glass only attached to the front half of the tub so there’s no way to avoid water spillage if you’re showering. On the plus side, there is a hair dryer! The apartment is located in a non-touristy area of Munich, which allows one to fully experience the city's personality. Food options are ample. Cafe Trachtenvogel (Ann-Kathrin's rec and personal fav) is down the street with affordable meals, friendly staff, and English menus! If you’re carrying luggage, Fraunhoferstraße has an elevator so you’re in luck. The apartment building has a climb (only one floor) to get to the apartment but the stairs are wide and manageable. There are a bunch of fruit flies in the kitchen, which made eating at the dining table a bit frustrating but other than that the stay was wonderful!
