This AirBnB experience was my first, and it was excellent - comfortable utilities in good condition; convenient location; friendly, knowledgeable and professional host; little details added in for an enhanced experience.

The physical space of the house and room are better than they look on the listing - the room is very well-kept, with a very comfortable bed and lots of cupboard and desk space. There is even a heater for cold days. The room door is right next to the house main door, which is great if you will be coming in late and going out early so you don't feel like you are disturbing anyone. The washroom is clean with a fabulous shower and bathtub area. The fridge and pantry are well-stocked, and space had been made for my things in the fridge. From the Central Station, it is less than a 10-minute tram-ride and a 3-minute walk. The lovely neighbourhood felt very safe, and had many amenities close-by. I walked very comfortably in the area late into the night.

Melita arranged for me to be checked-in comfortably. When I met her later, she spent much time chatting with me about Germany, Munich, herself and me. She was friendly, warm and very open to questions. Her replies to my messages over AirBnB messenger were timely and regular.

Much of the experience was in the little details - the room was a matching theme (blue walls, bed-set, floor-mat etc.) and the washroom held blue towels laid on a separate towel-rack, with separate space in the shelf for my things. Melita had placed an orange, a chocolate and water in my room for me when I arrived. There was a billboard in the room with information useful to visitors. She sent me a map for me to arrive, because there was some construction in the area that she did not want me confused by. There were books on Munich in the room as well.

As an AirBnB listing, the experience was better than expected - both the physical space and the host went above and beyond basics, to make me feel not just comfortable but warmly welcomed. Staying at Melita's is like staying with a friend who is a local, you get friendship as well as great local info on the city.
