Petra and Ben's apartment is a real gem for families traveling with kids. It's an ideal place to relax and unwind after a day full of attractions in downtown Munich, yet well connected with the city. The location is excellent: it's just a short walk from the S-Bahn station in Solln (7-10 min. at the four-year-old's pace). The bus connection to S-Bahn is also very convenient; the bus stop is just outside the house, and the bus runs frequently. A large park along the river is nearby, perfect for walking and biking. The kids enjoyed pick-your-own strawberries from the field just across the road, and there is no shortage of grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants located along the bus line (or 10-15 min. walk from the house).
The apartment is larger than it appears in the photos, sleeping four of us very comfortably (with more room for another two adults). The place is bright and roomy, with two lovely balconies, quiet and very cozy. We had everything we needed for a two-week stay, and Ben and Petra were very accommodating: we had some questions about the area and their responses were quick and very helpful. Our kids loved spending time inside and outside of the house, where they enjoyed the company of two friendly dogs.
We loved everything about Petra and Ben's place. We've felt welcome and immediately at home, and we would love to return to Solln: it's a perfect base for exploring Munich and the area south of the city.
