Overall, I do recommend this apartment for a base for exploring Munich. I will share with you details that I would want to know in order to help me make a decision before booking. I hope you find it helpful.
I would have liked to be a little closer to the attractions, but I don't think there are too many apartments any closer than this. It's about 8-10 min walk to train station. About 13-15 min to closest side of old town. But when you get to the further side of old town, then it would be a 30 min walk back. If you figure out the tram and subway system, this would be helpful, but I didn't want to take the time to figure it out, so we just walked everywhere.
The apartment is in a mixed-use building (doctor's offices, etc) on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator. The street itself is very big city, tall buildings. The apartment was quiet - we slept very well. It has a large window with black out curtains. Also, very convenient is that just a few doors down is a small grocery store. The opposite way on the corner is a cafe with baked goods and coffee.
The apartment is decorated beautifully, very modern. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom has a bathtub which is appreciated to soak tired muscles after a day of walking around Munich. (Note: the listing shows pictures of three different apartments - you'll need to specify which one you want and if you want the one with the bathtub). I believe all three apartments are in the same building.
There were just a few small negatives, which can easily be corrected. First, we had a heck of a time getting checked in. There are three doors you have to get through (unlock) to get to the apartment. Instructions which sounds easy enough were sent. The instructions for the exterior door of the building is to push the button for City Home and wait for door to open. We did this but the door did not open. After pushing it repeatedly for 10 minutes, standing there tired with our luggage, I messaged the host. Magically the door opened. Up on the 3rd floor is another door which requires a code to be entered. We entered the code and turned the handle as instructed. I did not open. We spend another 10 minutes messing around with it. I had to message the host again. It was then that we realized that you have to push the ON button on the keypad before entering the code. That information was in the instructions I later realized, but it was not clear. Obviously, both my husband
and and I who are intelligent, educated professionals and travel worldwide staying in Airbnbs missed that information. So, push the ON button, people!! LOL!
After all that, I was a little disappointed to find that there were no cold water bottles awaiting us in the refrigerator, which is a nice touch I've experienced from other airbnb hosts. My water bottle from travelling was empty, and the grocery store on the corner was closed.
There were two fans in the apartment and both of them were broken. Technically they worked, but the legs of the floor fan were broken so it kept wobbling. An easy, inexpensive replacement.
These three issues were minor, and overall we enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it.
