This was the first time I've used Airbnb. I stayed with Gabriele for two months while working in Munich and trying to improve my German. The room is as described, large with lovely antique furniture. Maxvorstadt is an excellent part of Munich for visitors to stay with easy access and many cafés and restaurants in easy walking distance. Gabriele was a very good host, always happy to answer questions on Munich. We had many conversations in German and only switched to English occasionally. We went to the National Theatre together to see the Munich Ballet Company and the Gasteig to hear a performance of Strauss.

Gabriele, like most Germans, is very environmentally aware and conscience of not wasting electricity and recycling properly. Munich also has limestone in the water so it was important to wipe down surfaces to prevent water stains. Occasionally there was some confusion due to cultural differences and expectations but these were quickly resolved.

I am happy to recommend Gabriele as a host and her very pleasant room, especially to people staying in Munich for more than a tourist visit.
