Ariane’s room was wonderful. It is spacious, bright, and quiet, with a spotlessly clean, well-equipped bathroom. It is actually more than just a room - it is the top floor of her smartly designed home, offering a measure of welcome privacy. There are stairs up to the room, so someone with difficulty climbing should be aware of this; they posed no problem for us. Ariane was a perfect hostess. She was friendly, introduced us to her husband and lovely daughter, gave us good suggestions for breakfast and dinner (she walked us to a terrific restaurant about 15 minutes away), supplied water, fruit and some helpful maps, and insisted on driving us to the U-Bahn station on our departure. (She would have picked us up at the station on arrival but we wanted to explore the neighborhood on an easy 10 minute or so walk from the Kolumbusplatz station.) The area around the station is residential and light commercial, seems very safe, and is only 3 quick stops from the central train station, with only minimal wait for the next train - a very easy, convenient location from which to explore the beautiful city of Munich. We spent one night there and were extremely satisfied. It will be our first choice if we have the pleasure of visiting Munich again.
