Hidemi is awesome, she took such great care of me I thought of my mother often during my stay!
I had to change my arrival time to 9:30pm at very short notice, and Hidemi was happy to accommodate that. She replied with train information right away, and even offered to make me supper when everything’s closed on Christmas. She’s just amazing! Every morning she spoiled me with a delicious hearty breakfast and a good coffee, even on days I had to leave the house very early for day tours. She’s a delight to be around, and very interesting to talk to.
Hidemi placed a lot of travel resources in the guest room – city maps (in every language!) and some books on Munich on the desk, if you look up from the desk there’s a train map on the pin board and memos around it on how to get to major tourist attractions. Hidemi knows Munich very well, and she’s very patient and helpful.
The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood, and is a short (5 mins) train ride to the central station – very convenient location if you’re travelling out of Munich or joining day tours. There’s a lift in her building, which was important for me as I could not travel light in winter. The entire place is spotless! The room is spacious and cozy, Hidemi always made sure the room is warm when I’m around. There’s a big window letting in a lot of light in the morning. There’re 4 power sockets on the desk, handy if you have a lot of electronic devices. The shower is amazing! Strong steady flow of hot water, very relaxing after a long day out.
My 5 nights stay was truly a home away from home experience. Hidemi is the best host one can wish for, and I’ll definitely stay with her again next time I’m in Munich.
