I honestly think you'll be hard pressed to find a better property and more accommodating host in all of Munich. Booked for three nights in late November 2022, everything was totally smooth in terms of booking and setting up communication with Christian. He owns the unit, did the renovations on his own, and his pride shows through. Thankfully he doesn't use a management company. Christian goes out of his way to ensure trouble-free booking and check in. He met us to give us the keys and walk us through the apartment. After that he was invisible yet easily reachable which is exactly the way a host should be.
The unit itself is on the busy Leopoldstrasse, with the entrance squeezed between a nail salon and a small pub. You may have doubts at first glance but once you're inside prepare to be impressed. Huge,.open living room + kitchen area with multiple French doors opening to an enclosed, sizeable terrace. In warmer months, this would be amazing. It was rather cold and rainy during our stay, yet the large French doors let in plenty of light.
A nice bedroom is off the living room, along with a half bathroom. The second bedroom is downstairs along with the full bathroom with glass shower enclosure, waterfall shower, separate tub, and heated sauna.
Christian keeps the place in excellent condition: clean and in good repair. Sonos sound system provided nice streaming music when relaxing. The wifi was adequate. It dropped our connections a few times across multiple devices (laptop, iPhone, Android), but a restart of the access point resolved. Overall bandwidth was sufficient.
The Schwabing neighborhood is a great location. Even though Leopoldstrasse is a bit busy, it makes it very easy to get anywhere. A few blocks walk south you get to a main subway station, Munchen Freiheit. A just beyond that are many shops and restaurants. A long, 30 minute walk gets you to the center of Munich, Altstadt. But taking the U-bahn gets you there very quickly within three stops.
All in all, I can't recommend Christian's place highly enough. If you're on the fence with some other listing, take it from me, book this one, you won't be disappointed in the slightest.
