Wonderful home!

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!

Great stay close to English Garden

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.

Beautiful space / Great location

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.

Schönes ruhiges Appartement

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.

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.

Einfach wunderbar

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.

Schöne Lage

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...

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung in München

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.

Awesome!

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.

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.
