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.

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.

Excellent accommodation in a great location.
The very plain exterior of this apartment belies the very modern, well designed and equipped interior.
The apartment has 4 separate areas – good sized bedroom , large lounge/dining area, very adequate kitchen, and the bathroom/laundry room. There is plenty of natural light and ventilation, with direct access to the patio area which is set in a large back yard garden.
The furniture and appliances are all modern and in excellent condition. The bed was very comfortable, as was the lounge seating. Internet was provided and worked very well. No air conditioning, but under floor heating throughout.
The apartment is well located just beside the English gardens, which is really a huge forest with lakes, numerous walking and cycling paths, and several beer gardens and restaurants. The best restaurant in the Gardens we found was the Sports club (only 2 minute walk from the apartment) – excellent facilities and setting, great food and good prices. We found other good restaurants outside the park within a short walk. There is also a small food store near the apartment (about 200m away) which we found very handy. The U station is about 10 minutes walk from the apartment, and the single line ride into the Marienplatz takes about 7 minutes.
Getting into the apartment was very easy – the very friendly caretaker lives in the apartment next door. She greeted us on arrival, explained everything about the apartment and provided local knowledge to help us make the most of our time. Her English is basic, but we had no problem.
Altogether a very quiet, comfortable and relaxing apartment. Highly recommended.

More than what I expected
The ‘apartment’ itself is larger in person than the pictures. It is super clean and has everything you need. It is also a separate unit than the actual apartment, so you have more privacy. Karin has all the supplies you need for laundry, dishes and cooking. She is also super friendly, responds quickly and helpful. The apartment is in a great location. Just blocks away from the English Garden (plus a beer garden that dogs go to!) It was definitely a great stay! Thank you Karin!

Clean and Modern with a rustic touch. Short walk to English Garden, U6 Bahn Station and Airport Bus
You can’t say enough good things about this spacious apartment. It’s in a nice quiet neighborhood. A beautiful place to come home to after a day out touring Munich or the surrounding area. Everything you need to stay a few days or a few weeks is there for your use. The property is located inside the Inner District, so you are minutes away from the Marienplatz. The property is alps nearby an entrance to the English Garden. For those of you who love walking through a lovely park with lakes and streams, it is possible to walk from the property to Odeonplatz without leaving parkland. A wonderful way to spend 1-2 hours during the day while “commuting” to the center of Munich. Two other things make this location of this property superb. It’s proximity to the U6 Bahn Station less than 20 minwalk. It’s right at that same station where you can catch the Lufthansa Bus to or from the airport It’s a non stop 20 or so minute ride to the airport.
The apartment is newly renovated. It appears to be an attached addition to a house with a private entrance at the rear of the property. There’s more than enough room for two people and there’s also a nice outside eating patio off the bedroom to have your breakfast. or to enjoy a cup or tea or coffee. With the price of a nice hotel room in downtown Munich so expensive, this apartment is a great alternative.

Perfect hide a way for 2 people
Karin was very helpful on arrival, getting us in a little early. The VRBO is well prepared and like new. It was easy cooking and cleaning for 2, and minimized our time preparing for each days discovery. 10 minutes from transportation and parking was not a problem. Hope to return and would definitely stay here again.

Munich guesthouse fit the bill
This is a “guesthouse” located behind a small apartment building in a largely residential area of Munich. The host was responsive, pleasant, and very accommodating to our needs.
The location is a bit out of the touristy parts of Munich, but allowed for a more immersive experience. It was a ~15 min walk to the train station and 6 stops to Marienplatz. A small local grocery store was convenient and had everything we needed.
The lodging itself was cozy and well appointed. A bit cluttered with candles and cleaning supplies, but it’s ?nice? to have cleaning supplies if you want to clean on vacation. The linens were a bit tired, and the pillows need to be replaced, but we rested comfortably. The washer/dryer combo unit was great to have on a long visit.
The bathroom was quite small, and the shower stall is open which made for a soggy experience.
Overall, a very pleasant experience! We enjoyed our home in Munich.

Great location. Cute place with plenty of room.
The location was excellent. The small town where it is located has lots of cafes and stores with easy access to the subway. To get to Hamburg (or just about anywhere) was a breeze! The bed was very comfy and the apartment was well furnished. The only thing I would recommend is either a flashlight or a light to see down the walkway when coming home after dark. Otherwise all was wonderful!
