Condo/Apartment
Our well-lit basement-apartment is located in a grassy inner-courtyard. Insulated from street noise, you hardly know you're in the middle of Munich. Four tall livingroom windows look out onto a garden while a backdoor opens onto a roomy private terrace. TOTALLY renovated in 2012-13. To get to our apartment, you go through our building's lobby and out the back door onto an enclosed grassy courtyard, which is formed by the buildings that line our square-block. There are very few apartments situated like ours in Munich and we love living here. Traffic noise is almost inaudible even though one of Munich's main thoroughfares runs along our block. You go down a few steps below ground level to reach our front door. Our apartment is divided into 4 rooms plus 1 full bath and 1 half bath.

Four tall livingroom windows look out onto a garden while a backdoor opens onto a roomy private terrace. TOTALLY renovated in 2012-13. To get to our apartment, you go through our building's lobby and out the back door onto an enclosed grassy courtyard, which is formed by the buildings that line our square-block. There are very few apartments situated like ours in Munich and we love living here. Traffic noise is almost inaudible even though one of Munich's main thoroughfares runs along our block. You go down a few steps below ground level to reach our front door. Our apartment is divided into 4 rooms plus 1 full bath and 1 half bath. There is a large living/dining room , kitchen, small bedroom with a single-size loft bed (minimal head room for an adult) with space underneath on the floor for a single-size mattress, and the master bedroom with a kingsize bed. The half bath (toilet & sink) is opposite the small bedroom. The full bath connects to the master bedroom. Our back door gives out onto our private terrace which has a dining table expandable to feed 8 persons comfortably. TRASH COLLECTION NOISE: On Tuesday mornings around 7 a.m. the city garbage collectors collect the black 'Restmüll' (garbage) cans.  This is a loud process.  If anyone is sleeping in our living room or in the small bedroom, it would be helpful to close the windows Monday night to keep the sound down, but it will almost certainly wake you up. Every other Thursday morning the blue paper bins in the courtyard are emptied, also around 7 a.m., with the same noisy effect.There are virtually no apartment buildings in Munich where this does not occur. Check-in is 3:00 pm. Check-out is 11.00 am.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Very pleasant experience.
Overall, we are very pleased with our stay in this apartment in Munich. Pros: 1. John, the owner is great. From the very beginning to the final check out he was there for us. Able to meet with you, helped with parking, helping with apartment setting, able to answer questions and been available via phone or eamil ANY time when you needed him. Nothing but outstanding. 2. Area. Apartment located in district called Schwabing. It is not an immediate center of city and for that reason less touristy. Gives you unique opportunity to deepen in live of Münchner (people of Munich). Three grocery stores and a bakery within 3 minutes walking. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Marienplaz by walking then taking subway. Apartment is in between subway stations Munchner Freiheit and Bonner Platz and about 10 mins walk to either one. Car can be easily parked on the street right next to the building and it cost 6 euros max for 24 hrs parking. It felt very safe and secure in the area at any time of day and night. 3. Apartment is very clean. Bedrooms, bathrooms are spotless. 4. It has everything for staying in there. Kitchen, stove, microwave, big refrigerator, big dinning area. Perfect for anybody who wants to have breakfast and supper or even dinner at home. Especially relevant to families with children. 5. Dwelling is very quiet, there is no outside nose, period. Nice private outdoor area on the back where you can gather with your family in the evenings for a glass of wine or mug of beer (after all, this is Bavaria). So, why 4 stars, not 5? Cons: 1. It is still in the basement and you feel it. 2.Mattress and pillows in master bedroom are extremely firm. Took us 2 nights to adjust somehow, even then it never felt comfortable. 3. There is minor smell in the living room. Most likely more related to a basement location of the apartment than to the cleanliness of it. 4. No TV (if it is even relevant.).

Thank you for the positive review. I was surprised to see that you had a problem with the pillows. We certainly have softer ones available. As I mentioned to you a few times, if you had any problems, you had only to call me. It’s a little unfair to mention something as a “con” when it was easily fixable. Sorry about the minor smell. We’ve never noticed it nor has anyone before ever mentioned it. Perhaps it was due to the excessive heatwave we had that week. And also, in our ad, it is quite clear that the apartment is a basement apartment albeit with many tall windows, so to mention that as a “con" is also a bit unfair. In any case, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay.

Eine sehr gemütliche Wohnung
Die Wohnung ist gemütlich eingerichtet (viel Holz) und wir haben uns gleich wohlgefühlt. Für die Kinder gab es ein kleines Kinderzimmer mit Hochbett und einer darunter liegenden Matratze (zur Info: das Kinderzimmer hat keine Tür, was uns jedoch nicht störte). Ein paar Spiele und Bücher sind auch vorhanden. Wohn-, Esszimmer und Küche sind ein Bereich. Dort ist alles, was man braucht vorhanden (Fernseher allerdings nicht, aber den vermissten wir auch nicht). Zusätzlich gibt es noch ein schönes Elternschlafzimmer mit Verbindung zum Bad und ein WC. Bis auf die Küche hat alles eine Fußbodenheizung. Bei gutem Wetter kann man einen eigenen Außenbereich mit Tisch und Stühlen nutzen. Auf den vom Vermieter eingestellten Fotos kann man aber ja bereits alles gut sehen. Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral gelegen, jedoch trotzdem wirklich ruhig, da sie im Hinterhof liegt. Zur nächsten U-Bahn-Station kann man bequem laufen. Kostenlose Parkplätze sind aber wie überall in München rar und man muss in der direkten Umgebung ein Parkticket kaufen (6 Euro pro 24 h). Ein sehr guter Bäcker und Penny sind um die Ecke, REWE und DM sind beim Bonner Platz (U-Bahn-Station). Die Vermieter sind sehr sehr nett. Sie waren immer sehr hilfsbereit und für alle Fragen offen. Wir hatten absolut keinen Grund zur Klage.

Super place -- we would happily go again
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment and would happily stay there again. The apartment block is set well back from the busy road and the apartment itself is very quiet. Travel into Munich is easy. Mostly we walked down to the Munchner Freiheit station, but you can get the tram to there, or a bus. The apartment is well stocked, with even fresh herbs growing outside! The kitchen is also very well supplied. The child's bedroom is really best suited for a child, with bunk beds and no door. There is an outside space with picnic table and an outside washing line that is under cover. There is a Lidl just across the road and another supermarket only two minutes walk towards the city. We did contact the owners by email with a couple of questions. They responded quickly and helpfully. Also the neighbour who did the handover is very friendly and helpful and speaks both German and English. The owners run an English secondhand bookshop in Munich.. we bought lots: www.readery.de

Map
About the neighbourhood
We live in a delightful part of Munich, Schwabing. On one side of our building is Leopoldstrasse, a wide urban boulevard, with shops and tall buildings. On the other side, the neighborhood is like a small town, with single family homes and lovely little gardens. Three major parks are within 15 minutes walk: Luitpold Park, Ungererbad & the Central Park of Munich, the Englische Garten. Ungererbad, which is right across the boulevard, is an outdoor 'Volksbad.' In other words, a place for public swimming, with four swimming pools, volley ball, trampolines, a small beer garden and more, all accessible for a token amount, all in a beautiful park setting.
