Just Perfect

Guest: Betty B. (Brisbane Australia)
Date of Stay: 11/24/11 Review Submitted: 01/13/12

My husband and I stayed in this apartment in November and it was absolutely perfect. Very handy to transport, extremely clean, more than comfortable, walking distance to supermarket. We did have problems connecting to the internet. Overall, I would highly recommend the accommodation. Evereything to do with the booking went smoothly and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Unexpected Surprises and Best Choice

Guest: Anonymous
Date of Stay: 09/26/11 Review Submitted: 11/10/11

Our first unexpected surprise was that we were lucky to be able to find a unit for Octoberfest 2011 within walking distance of the festivities, but things just kept getting better. Upon arrival, we were graciously greeted; we were given hands-on operational instructions for everything electronic; and provided with numerous ‘take with’ detailed maps showing markets, shopping, and transportation points which linked us to all Munich has to offer (without the necessity of a personal car). We were quietly tucked into a thriving neighborhood behind a huge massive traditional solid wooden door where several apartments shared a large secure tree and plant filled courtyard. There were excellent restaurants that, literally, were just a short walk around the corner where the food, beer, and wines were only surpassed by the open friendliness of the local residents that asked to join us and lingered long after dessert and that last glass of wine. For us, our stay was not only full of surprises, but was a excellent lucky choice. We hope to return often.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind words. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and we would love to have you back. The apartment was perfectly clean when you left. Are you sure you spent time there? :-) Have a Merry Christmas, Patt and Michael

Wonderful place to stay in Munich

Guest: Jody K (Oakland, California)
Date of Stay: 09/07/11 Review Submitted: 09/22/11

My husband and I just returned from a 6-day stay in Munich at this wonderful apartment. It was exactly as represented on the website: clean, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable and well appointed with everything we might need. We were greeted on arrival and given an excellent tour of the premises and stack of information about Munich and the transit system. With hotels in Munich being so outrageously priced (and generally located in the noisy old town area or charmless train station neighborhood), this apartment was an excellent alternative. We felt like locals instead of tourists, and saved money doing it. Would highly recommend this place to all.

Owner response:Jody - So thrilled you enjoyed yourselves and thank you for the very kind review. We also find the area around the train station not so nice. Michael and I hope to welcome you back to Munich again soon. Kind regards, Patterson

Best for access

Guest: Richard & Anne (Sydney, Australia)
Date of Stay: 06/09/11 Review Submitted: 06/25/11

In June 2011, this apartment was one of three we stayed in, in Paris, Munich and Berlin, all booked through VRBO. While comparisons are difficult with the locations themselves being so different, this one scored best for accessibility, having level access from the legendary 152 bus to the apartment. It also scored best for convenience of access to the nearby well stocked Lidl supermarket. In all respects, the apartment was true to description and after busy days of exploring Munich, it was a joy to return to each evening. Even Anton's weather forecasting as we planned our enjoyable excursion to the country proved more accurate than official sources. When it comes to supplying the little things, everything was covered. Where else would one find a small supply of drawing pins and a paper tape measure? Would we recommend the apartment? Without hesitation!

Great location

Guest: Patti and Jim (Wilsonville, OR USA)
Date of Stay: 05/25/11 Review Submitted: 05/07/12

We loved this apartment, its location in a fun neighborhood, proximity to a grocery, and good restaurants, etc. Unfortunately, we had to leave the apartment before our stay was done. We are on a six-week driving trip through parts of Europe and because of recent parking restrictions implemented in Munich, parking in our neighborhood was virtually impossible. This is a perfect location for those traveling by public transportation. We would've stayed had we not been traveling by car.

Munich for 10 days

Guest: Kris and Brian (Calgary, Canada)
Date of Stay: 04/24/11 Review Submitted: 05/29/11

We stayed in this apartment for 10 days in April/May 2011. We arrived early morning by train and since nobody had stayed the night before, the owner allowed us to take possession at 9:00 AM (Very nice). Anton gave us a quick overview with all the info we needed to get settled. The apartment is very well appointed, comfortable and is very quiet. The transit system in Munich is excellent and this apartment is only about 2 minutes away from a bus stop (bus runs every 10 minutes or so) which takes you into the center of the city and everything you might want to see; so the location is excellent. Easy walk along river and around the area. Nice little bar with very friendly patrons just a few steps down the street. Owner provided lots of useful information in the form of brochures, maps etc in the apartment. Very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Owner response:Brian - We enjoyed having you as our guests. Our cleaning crew is convinced Canadians are the neatest guests in the world! Kind regards, Patterson

Great place for a couple staying in Munich

Guest: Sam (Seattle, WA United States)
Date of Stay: 04/07/11 Review Submitted: 04/26/11

My wife and I just returned from our trip to Europe and we loved staying in this fine property. Comfortable, well-decorated, and a short distance from transit options it served as a great jumping-off point to see the sites of Munich. We'd definitely stay here again and would recommend to others!

Christmas Markets in Munich

Guest: Glenn N' S. (Eugene, OR)
Date of Stay: 12/08/10 Review Submitted: 01/18/11

We spent a wonderful week at this apartment. It was easy to use public transportation to get around and explore all the markets and museums in town. The high ceilings in the studio make it very spacious feeling. The whole apartment was very well apointed and a very easy place to feel at home. Thanks for a great vacation experience.

Very comfortable studio for 2!

Guest: Texans in Europe (Houston)
Date of Stay: 09/23/10 Review Submitted: 10/18/10

My husband and I enjoyed this apartment during our vacation in Munich! It was the perfect size for 2 people. The apartment was clean and just a 20 minute walk to Oktoberfest. Once we learned the public transportation system, we realized we were in a great location -- not far from the sites, but in a very quiet neighborhood when we were ready to relax. Also, Makassar restaurant around the corner is FANTASTIC. We went twice -- the food, service and staff helped make our vacation even more memorable. We highly recommend this studio.

Munich - perfect alternative to a hotel

Guest: Kath and Brian (Sheffield UK)
Date of Stay: 08/20/10 Review Submitted: 09/14/10

The apartment was spotlessly clean and well-equipped with radio, TV, DVD player (bring DVDs). We stayed here for a week in August 2010 having travelled from the UK by train. Bus stop 2 minutes away. Bus goes to the Viktualmarkt (food Market selling an array of local produce) and close to the Marienplatz (the Main square) walk in the woods 5 minutes away where we watched Munich residents spending their Sunday by the river. Local shops close by, neighbourhood restaurants round the corner inlcuding an Italian ice cream shop. The weather was superb so we were able to eat outside in the sunshine in the small space outside the apartment. Brilliant for a couple (and a child) wanting an alternative to a hotel. We don't speak much German and managed the public transport system. Owner really helpful and gave us loads of information. Hope to visit again - perhaps when the weather isn't quite so hot so that we can do some more walking along the river. Would recommend a trip to King Ludwig's castles - we booked a trip with the viators website.

Owner response:We are thrilled you had such a wonderful stay and that the apartment worked so well for you. We hope to welcome you back to Munich soon! Patt and Michael

Home Away from Home

Guest: Terri (Texas)
Date of Stay: 07/04/10 Review Submitted: 07/15/10

This apartment was the perfect home away from home during my recent trip to Munich and Bavaria. It offered everything we could have found in a hotel, only it was better because we were living in the midst of Munich residents and families. Transportation was easily accessible, and even a non-German speaker like me had no trouble getting around. The landlord is very nice and always ready to help. I definitely recommend it.

I have enjoyed the apartment for several years now. It is located very close to Bus 152 and it is on a quiet street. I look forward to another stay in 2011.

Second Stay and Still Great

Guest: Overworked Software Engineer (Bay Area, California)
Date of Stay: 07/13/09 Review Submitted: 08/07/09

I spent one week in this apartment in 2006. This Summer my husband joined me while I worked in Munich for two weeks. The apartment was just as I had found it in 2006: clean, everything in order and bright. The apartment is very convenient for seeing the city and is so close to so much green! The Flaucher Biergarden became our second home! Having rented apartments in Rome, Paris and Stockholm, this was the best of them all. Anton keeps everything in great working order!

Date of Stay: 04/08/09 Review Submitted: 04/08/09

My husband, 12-year old daughter, and I stayed in the studio 25Mar09 to 2Apr09. It is a lovely unit with plenty of space for the three of us. Easy access to the bus (2 mins) which has you at the Sendlinger Tor station in 10 minutes. You can walk to Marienplatz, Viktualien, many museums from the Sendlinger Station or hop on a tram or subway/train for anywhere in the area. Grocery is short walk (5-10 min) Bakery is adjacent to Grocery. Great Italian restaurant around the corner. Quiet, comfortable, clean, affordable home for a great vacation!

Fun in Munchen!

Guest: Jerry K. (Orange County, CA)
Date of Stay: 11/10/08 Review Submitted: 11/29/08

Munchen is great! The studio was located in the middle of the cool and trendy area frequented by students near the university. The studio has everything you need to see the city. It is only a 10 minute walk to the Marienplatz. The surrounding area is very safe and has interesting shops. I highly recommend the Italian restaurant near the entrance (we ate there every day). Parking is difficult at best and not needed if you will be staying in Munchen. Thanks again.
