I really enjoyed staying with Ute, she has a very comfortable apartment in a great community of Haidhausen. Ute was extremely helpful with all kinds of tips about Munich, my new home city. The room I stayed in was very large, especially by European standards. In addition to a bedroom, there was a sitting room as well, with a desk that I worked at. Staying with someone who knows the ins and outs of the system and can advise on shopping, restaurants and even banks has made all the difference in my first two weeks in Germany. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a central location with quick access to downtown (on foot)!
