After a fairly long taxi ride from the Hauptbahnhof we arrived at Marco's. However, we weren't sure if we were at the correct location because the front of the building was a doctor's office. We tried to contact Marco but he wasn't responding, I suspect that he was taking a nap. We asked someone at the doctor's office if they knew where Marco lived and they buzzed his flat. Marco greeted us and led us downstairs. He offered several suggestions of places to eat and things to see as well as how to get around.
One morning when we were waiting for the tram Marco was walking his dog. A couple taxis pulled up and everyone waiting for the tram piled into one of the taxis. As we don't speak German we were very confused but decided to follow the lead. Marco then walked up and explained to us that the tram was temporarily unavailable and that the taxis were offering free rides to the metro.
The 'whole house' turned out to be a spare bedroom and a bathroom. Apparently Marco lives in the rest of the flat and rents out a spare room. We did have privacy but given that I was under the impression that we were renting a whole house, I assumed that there would be a bit more accommodations; for instance, I was expecting a refrigerator, potentially a washing machine, and functional heating. The in-law apartment was extremely cold at night and we weren't able to get the heat working in neither the bedroom nor the bathroom.
The bathroom was stocked with towels but didn't even have soap. Luckily we brought our own. The sink leaked pretty badly if the water was turned on high.
The bedroom smelled a bit damp and musty, which is to be expected from an underground space without much airflow. It did have a spare blanket that came in handy given the cold temperature of the room.
The flat had a great Internet connection that was very fast. It would have been nice if Marco would have added the wifi authentication info to his listing so that we didn't have to manually type the long password. There was also a TV in the flat but I didn't use it so I can't confirm if it had cable.
The are around the flat was very quiet and quite lovely, especially since it is Autumn and the leaves are turning. It is across the street from a tram line which makes getting back to the city fairly easy. Learning how the Munich transit system works took us several days to grasp. It's fairly complex and is documented in an obtuse way. However once you you figure out how to navigate to Menterschwaige stop, you can get to Marco's flat pretty easily.
