We've stayed in quite a few VRBOs. This was one of the best! Each room was nice sized, even the bathroom. Great shower too! Everything we needed was there including soap for the washing machine, plenty of TP and the kitchen was so well equipped. Having a washer/dryer was a big plus for us. The metro stop is an easy walk and there is a small market nearby. We had two great meals at Brunnwart, just a short walk away. Fantastic food and service. Karin was easy to communicate with and we loved our time there. Highly recommend this guest house for your stay in Munich!
Home was just as advertised and very comfortable. Karen was very easy to reach when we had questions. Unit was a short walk to the airport shuttle bus and sbahn. Neighborhood market was just down the block. Easy bike ride to the English Garden. After spending a few days close to Oktoberfest, this location was a nice , relaxing change. Would definitely stay here again.
Loved it. Beautifully decorated with everything you might need with the bonus of a private patio. We were very comfortable. I might just say that in looking for the place we were at first confused that the property is located behind what looks like a block of apartments, rather than a main house as the directions indicated, but we figured it out eventually. Wonderful convenient, but quiet location close to English gardens and public transportation. Host was easy to communicate with and very friendly and helpful.
STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. Pet hair covered linens. Argumentative, rude and disagreeable host.
I hate having to write negative reviews even when we tried to amicably resolve the multitude of issues with this with the owner. Truth be told, I wasn’t going to leave a review at all since I was partially refunded for our experience. I received however, a particularly nasty message from our host Karen, suggesting that I lied about the issues in her home, so here we go with an honest review. My Honesty - something that’s been called into question by our host for pointing out the unsatisfactory issues with her place.
When we checked in, we were met with absolutely freezing interior temperatures. The heat in the floor was off when we arrived, it was still not up to normal temperature upon checkout (leaving earlier than planned due to the poor quality of accommodations, more on that below).
The tea kettle was found with standing water from a previous guest. That alone should be enough to ring our host but I reserved on that until….
The bedding - the other two pillows that were in the closet are not only admittedly from the owner, (not even hers???!!!) but grossly covered in yellow stains - and missing pillow cases.
The extra blanket was also covered in leaves, dirt, and dog hair. This debris and fur made its way onto the bed.
None of this is okay, especially since the listing specifically says no pets allowed.
I relayed this to the owner who did nothing but essentially call me a liar and argued with me for 10 mins. By the by Karen-there’s a safety pin in the threshold between the wood and tile-so much for your spotless cleaning. Take some ownership of these issues.
Every issue brought to her attention was met with “everyone makes mistakes”. Sure, we all do. I make mistakes all the time (case in point - staying here even one night). Touting her Vrbo standings and other reviews- Karen: I’m not making this up. You suggesting that I am to get out of what? A $300 bill? Seriously? $300?! I’ve spent more than of my time writing this review so it’s got nothing to do with money.
Her EXCUSE was that the extra blanket probably “looked clean, so it was probably just put away”. Seriously?! That’s beyond not okay even pre-Covid times. I hate to think this is probably true of the towels too. Who knows what I wiped my face with, or what future guest will wipe theirs with.
Future Guests considering this place - just don’t. Know that gut feeling you have after reading this? Go with it and stay far away from Karen’s place.

Bryan and his wife arrived to the guesthouse. The guesthouse is standardly heated to 71 degrees Fahrenheit for the guest to adjust if necessary. Bryan called me to complain about the cold which I then explained and had informed before the arrival where the Thermostates are and how to use them.
We keep an extra blanket in the closet which gets washed after each guest. They found the blanket and on the blanket they showed me a foto with two black hairs …. I wish I could upload the foto and another one where one could guess 4 hairs. Presumably dog hairs.
I had no guest with a dog and even if someone wants to bring one they would have to ask me.
The blanket was laid in the closet like the cleaning lady has left it after washing and she assumed no one used it. If someone had used it and the 4 black short hairs where from them then I call it a humanly mistake which I already dealt with by having housekeeping washing the extra blanket every time no matter what. I will also ask guests to not store anything they used back into the closet.
There were also two pillows apparently in the closet. As I was not in Munich I could not really clarify which my cleaning lady did that the pillows were not ours but left by some guests in the closet.
Now I have two very good cleaning ladies and I will not ever let them be trashed .
They clean the house top to bottom and we had never had any complaints just compliments. As they rotate they assumed the other one had taken our extra pillows and stored them in the closet. Again a humanly mistake that can be clarified.
There was no hair anywhere else on no linens or the floor or anywhere. This is also a claim that Bryan could never proof to me, just saying .
2 to 4 hairs on the extra blanket, I wish I could upload the reality. We could have provided another extra blanket and pillows in a heartbeat.
We have a Covid plan in place for every cleaning. I buy new white towels and bedsheets on a regular basis. The house has high ceiling barns, even those get cleaned from all sides in a regular basis. Pets are generally not allowed unless, like in any hotel, I am informed before hand. The washer and dryer get cleaned out. Everything gets washed at a WHO recommended temperature. There is really not much else we can do.
Much if what is described is not true and was never mentioned.
However they left and I reimbursed them for the stay.
When the cleaning lady got to the house she found every light burning in the guesthouse and every heater in full which reaches to 87 degrees Fahrenheit as a backlash at me.
So much for protecting the environment.
At this point I am thinking that these are travelers that will find something to get reimbursed and stay for free.
There was no reasoning with Bryan or his wife. I am not rude and I try to provide the best for my guests. My housekeeping is great and I will not let them be trashed.
As I called him out on purposely waistline natural resources Bryan threatened me by saying: brave yourself for my review! So here it is.
Some people cannot behave and in this case I now truly believe it was a purposely created scam. I guess that can happen? I did inform VRBO.
I have very successfully rented out the guesthouse in the last five years. I guess one runs into strange situations. It is vindictive, rude and to me beyond words.
I would never rent to them again and I would be careful as I believe this is a way to have a cheap vacation !
This couple is coming up with lies so I hope everyone can see through this.
Wat een heerlijk huisje !! Zeer gezellig en compleet ingericht. Aan alles is gedacht. Wij hebben het er erg fijn gehad. Dichtbij een metro opstap plek ( konden we de stad goed verkennen). Zal dit huisje zeker aanbevelen!
The apartment was in a great location, close to the underground & the English Gardens. Karin was communicative & helpful & the apartment was clean & well equipped. We enjoyed our stay.
Das Appartement ist ruhig in einem Garten gelegen. Einen direkten Parkplatz gibt's nicht aber ein paar Minuten zu Fuss ist es möglich umsonst an der Straße zu parken. Check in über Schlüssel Safe. Es ist gut eingerichtet u wirklich interessant gebaut, mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Bei schönem Wetter kann man die kl. Terrasse nutzen. Einigen Dingen könnte etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt werden, zb Gläser u Küchen Utensilien sauberer sein oder die Spinnweben an den Balken u in einigen Ecken entfernt werden. Bei Ankunft gab es leider nur eine grosse Bettdecke u Daunen Kissen, dieses Problem konnten wir mit Hilfe der freundlichen Vermieterin schnell lösen. Da wir viel unterwegs waren, haben wir praktisch nur nachts dort verbracht. Das nächste Cafe ist genau wie die nächste U-Bahn Station ca. 15 min entfernt. Dann ist man zügig am Marienplatz oder zb an der Allianz Arena. Alles in allem haben wir 3 angenehme Tage dort verbracht u würden die Unterkunft wieder buchen.

Das Gästehaus hat eine Bettdecke 2m mal 2.20 m. Gerne können wir auf Wunsch allerdings auch zwei Einzeldecken zur Verfügung stellen, wenn gewünscht. Ebenso gibt es Überzüge für Allergiker, auch da die Bitte uns vorab zu informieren. Danke für den Tip mit den Spinnweben.. die Damen bemühen sich sehr aber im Herbst kann das schon mal passieren dass ein Tierchen sich ins Haus schleicht:-)
Just what we were looking for. Karin helped us with directionst to the local biergartens, how to use the wash/dryer and call a cab as the u6 is undergoing repairs in parts and was a challenge with luggage. Loved it...home away from home.
Wir haben uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Das Ferienhäuschen ist bis in das letzte Detail durchdacht und ausgesprochen geschmackvoll gestaltet. Es liegt im Hinterhof und damit absolut ruhig.
Es gibt reichlich Ablageflächen (auch im Bad) und sogar Rollläden in allen Zimmern, Handtücher, Toilettenpapier, Spülmaschinentabs etc. sind reichlich vorhanden. Die Mischung aus zum Teil "antiken" Möbeln und Ikea-Stücken hat uns sehr gut gefallen, ebenso die vielfältigen interessanten Beleuchtungselemente. Die Fußbodenheizung sorgt für ein angenehmes Klima, man kann sich nur wohl fühlen, auch wenn der erste Nachtfrost kommt. Bei Ankunft war das Häuschen sorgfältig gereinigt.
Die Lage ist perfekt. Wir hatten unsere Fahrräder dabei, was sehr zu empfehlen ist, und haben uns München und die Umgebung "erradelt". In die Stadt und in die diversen Biergärten geht es immer durch den Park. Aber auch das Olympiagelände, das Nymphenburger Schloss (unbedingt vorab online reservieren, wir haben 45 Minuten auf Einlass gewartet), Alt Schwabing und der Isarradweg sind perfekt zu erreichen. Man kann herrlich nordwärts nach Freising radeln. Südwärts wurden wir von Steigungen ab Pullach überrascht. Der Weg zum Kloster Schäftlarn ist sehr zu empfehlen, aber anstrengend.
Die bayrischen Restaurants Brunnwart und Osterwaldgarten in der Nähe haben uns sehr gefallen. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr nett. Alles in allem eine absolute Empfehlung!
PS (dies für nicht Großstädter): Man kann bedenkenlos in der Sackgasse parken, wenn auch in unserem Fall etwas vom Haus entfernt.
Das Objekt liegt ruhig und Verkehrsgünstig. Wir hatten die Möglichkeit mit dem Radl unterwegs sein zu können, das bietet Ausflüge in die Innenstadt und die Umgebung von München.
Ein um die Ecke liegender Tante Emmaladen hat alles zu bieten, was man braucht. Hertha, mit Bundesverdienstkreuz ausgezeichnet, ist mindestens einen Besuch wert, da man hier nicht nur erfährt, wo man gut essen gehen kann....Und wir hatten feinstes Sommerwetter im September, so dass wir auf der traumhaft angelegten Terrasse frühstücken konnten. Das Appartement bietet zudem alles was man braucht.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Einzig die Kopfkissen sind verbesserungswürdig...

Vielen Dank für den Tip, wir werden neue Kopfkissen kaufen! Ist immer ein bisschen schwierig? Nicht zu weich, nicht zu hart ? Aber wir werden uns bemühen !
Uns hat es gut gefallen. Das Gästehaus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, alles ist vorhanden. Die Lage ist ruhig, dennoch zentral.
Gerne kommen wir wieder!
Wir waren schon oft in München, aber Ferienwohnungen dieser Art sind selten in München zu finden. Die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll, man wohnt sehr ruhig, aber dennoch ist man sehr schnell fußläufig im Englischen Garten, in Schwabing oder an der U-Bahn Haltestelle. Wir hatten nichts auszusetzen und werden wiederkommen. Absolut empfehlenswert.
This place is heaven. Lovely little house secluded in a pretty garden--and yet it's right in the city. Best of both worlds also w/proximity to the English Garden and to the subway. The house itself is super-comfortable and really well-appointed (nice furniture, quality appliances etc). Very quiet, too. I slept so well every night. I was so sad to leave and I hope to return!

In a word, "Ideal"
This property was ideal for our nine night stay to visit the city's Christmas Markets. A quick ten minute walk from the Nordfriedhof u-bahn station and the Lufthansa Airport bus drop off made getting around the Munich easy. We would frequently return from the Christmas Markets and leave the u-bahn at Münchner Freiheit and then walk to the property after dinner, banking or shopping there. Despite being so close to town, it was very quiet. Karin was only a text away whenever we had a question. The property was very clean and well kept with all the comforts of home. There is plenty of shopping and dining in the area and it's only three stops away from the Museum district. We will certainly make this our home base for future trips to Munich.

Ausbaufähig
Auf den ersten Blick gefiel mir die Wohnung sehr gut. Leider gab es ein paar Minuspunkte.
Man kann von draußen direkt in das Badezimmer schauen. Es gibt zwar eine blickdichte Folie, diese ist aber nicht über das komplette Fenster geklebt weswegen man einen auf der Toilette bzw. In der Dusche von außen sehen kann.
Die Fußbodenheizung hat bei mir nicht funktioniert, weshalb es in der Wohnung sehr kalt war.
Leider kann man direkt in die Wohnung schauen. Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer kleinen Hütte in einem Garten, wenn die Vorhänge nicht vorgezogen sind, kann man direkt reinschauen. Wenn man also nicht beobachtet werden möchte, ist es sehr dunkel.
Leider war es auch nicht so sauber. Der Kühlschrank roch extrem nach Schinken und eine ranzige Butter war auch noch drinnen, außerdem lagen im Badezimmer mehrere lange Haare rum und die Handtücher waren fleckig und lösen sich an den Seiten auf.
Leider ist auch das Kissen sehr dünn.
Auch die Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin war schwierig, ich habe im Vorhinein mehrfach versucht über sms bzw. Fewo-direkt und E-Mail Kontakt aufzunehmen, um die Schlüsselübergabe zu besprechen. Darauf kam leider keine Antwort. Letzten Endes habe ich dann vor Ort Angerufen und mitbekommen, dass es einen Schlüsselkasten gibt.
Das Potential von dieser Unterkunft ist hoch, leider wurden meine Erwartungen aber nicht erfüllt.

Ich möchte gerne zu den angesprochenen Punkten Stellung nehmen wie folgt.
Das Bad kann von niemandem eingesehen werden, denn das Haus steht alleine. Nichtsdestotrotz nehme ich diesen Punkt als konstruktive Kritik sehr ernst und lasse die Folie vor dem nächsten Gast tauschen.
Die Fußbodenheizung hat vor Ihrem Aufenthalt und auch danach ohne Probleme funktioniert. Es gibt zwei Thermostate im Haus um sie zu regeln. Einmal im Wohnzimmer und einmal im Schlafzimmer, beides Regler in der Wand mit denen man die Temperatur individuell einstellen kann. Schade, dass Sie sich nicht bei mir gemeldet haben, dann hätte ich Ihnen weiterhelfen können, obwohl sie eigentlich nicht zu übersehen sind.
Die Fenster des Gartenhauses sind mit Plissees versehen, die ebenfalls individuell nach oben und unten geöffnet werden können. Ebenfalls befindet sich ein großes Fenster mit Tür zum Garten im uneinsehbaren Schlafzimmer des Hauses. Die Sonne scheint ab Mittag direkt in Richtung Gartenhaus, die Plissees sind hell.
Zur Nacht sind Lampen in den Fensternischen, in den Räumen und über den Räumen vorhanden uns ausreichend Licht zu garantieren.
Zur Sauberkeit muss ich gestehen, dass ich diese Punkte mit meiner Putzfrau besprechen muss. Sie ist sehr zuverlässig und wir hatten noch nie Kritik, ich werde diese Punkte in jedem Fall heute mit ihr klären.
Wir erneuern die Handtücher und Bettwäsche immer wieder und das regelmäßíg, weswegen mir diese Angaben unverständlich sind, ich sie aber heute ansprechen werde.
Zur Kommunikation kann ich nur sagen, dass ich Ihnen mehrere Nachrichten gesendet hatte auch mit genauen Instruktionen zum Haus und dem Schlüssel. Leider hatten Sie diese nicht gelesen bevor Sie zum Haus kamen.
Ich möchte mich für ihr unangenehmes Erlebnis im Haus entschuldigen, bisher hatten wir nur sehr zufriedene Gäste.
Ich werde die konstruktiven Punkte gerne umsetzen und vor allem auch ansprechen und lösen.

Lovely and quiet
We stayed at this lovely guest house for 10 nights during Oktoberfest. It’s in a great location outside of the city centre but close to the U-Bahn (U6) and English Garden. We didn’t have a car but the nearest U-Bahn station (Nordfriedhof) is only 10 minutes by foot away and then another 10 minutes into the centre. It's also on the line to Allianz Arena if you are going to a football game.
The house is in such a tranquil suburban location and was very clean and stylish. It has everything you need for a short or long stay. It has a lovely little private outdoor area which is nice to sit in if the weather is fine or just look at if the weather is less friendly out.
There is a small local supermarket just around the corner which has pretty much everything you need and bigger supermarkets can be found near Alte Heide and Münchener Freiheit U-bahn stations (they are also within walking distance if you’re happy to walk a little!)
Would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of home-away-from-home.
