General overview
There is something for everyone in Munich: From museums, historical sites and its parks and beergardens to the lakes, mountains and castles in the surroundings of Munich.
My home is a small, but cosy two-bedroom- apartment, located in a very quiet and safe residential area in the south of Munich, between the city centre and a big forest that brings you to the beautiful lake Starnberg.
The space
There are two bedrooms and a livingroom, balcony and a garden, a double bed, 160 cm in one bedroom (in the attic) and a 120 cm bed in the other bedroom. If necessary, an extra person could sleep on the sofa in the living room. During the warmer months we enjoy chilling on the balcony or in the garden.
Guest access
The flat is in a semi-detached house on the first floor. It's a typical house with a very steep roof that my grandparents built in the 50s. On the ground floor is a shared flat with four young professionals. Very nice and quiet, no worries ; )
We share the garden and the entrance, but I do have my own flat with my own kitchen and bathroom.
Notes
Because of steep stairs it is unfortunately not suitable for little ones or if you have mobility problems.

Uli’s home has really nice and cozy vibe, we felt like at home in Munich. The home was well equiped with everything needed and Uli is such an amazing host, she really took care of us. This was our first exchange and it was truly memorable experience in Munich. The neighbourhood itself is really calm and well equipped, we really enjoyed the time we spent at Uli’s home.
It has been a great pleasure hosting you! I look forward to visiting Bratislava. Without the floodings!
We absolutely loved our stay at Uli’s, what a beautiful home and a fantastic location. Walking distance to grocery store, bakery, cafe, restaurant and the tramline. Uli was so welcoming and helpful and we really did feel like we were at ease in her home. Her neighbour is beautiful and quiet and felt very safe even when we were walking back to her house very late after the concert. We hope to meet her again and maybe even visit again with the kids. I would absolutely recommend a stay here. Thank you so much Uli x
I am glad you enjoyed your stay! It has been a pleasure meeting you. Come back anytime. And bring the kids! I would love to meet them.
Uli’s place is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood within a 10 minute walk of multiple grocery stores, an excellent bakery, and a metro station that can get you into the heart of Munich within a 20 minute ride. Nearby is a forrest with paved pedestrian and biking trails. Munich itself is a gorgeous city with lots to see and do. In addition there are countless day trip opportunities for hiking, water sports, visiting picturesque Bavarian towns, and even Salzburg. The public transportation is excellent, and for only €49/month you can get to all of these places at no additional costs. The food and drink (especially beer) in this part of Germany is something special.
The house itself is the top floor and attic of a semi-detached house with modern kitchen appliances, pleasant balcony spaces, and comfortable rooms that make you feel at home. Something that was surprising was just how quiet the neighborhood was in terms of lack of traffic or other people generated noise, given that it's a half an hour from the bustling center of a world class city. Whenever we had a question or needed something, Uli responded very quickly and she took great care of us. The downstairs neighbors were also nice and helpful if we had a question or needed something.
I had feeling like we know each for some time already, feels like having a friend in Munich. Uli took great care of us, and she was always ready to help if needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us Uli and waiting for you in Bratislava.
Uli's daughter Chiara stayed with us for a hospitality stay whilst she sourced accomodation for University here on the Sunshine Coast. We loved having Chiara in our house and we were a bit sad to see her go. She is such an interesting, polite, and warm person, and would welcome Chiara or her family to stay with us if they ever visit Australia in the future.
Dear Leonie and Colin,
Thank you so much for hosting Chiara and making her first weeks in Australia so easy and enjoyable. For me, it was great to know her to be in such good hands. I hope to see you in Munich or at lake Chiemsee someday! Or even in Australia, who knows. Thank you for the offer. I look forward to meeting both of you in person.
All the best and happy travels, Uli
The communication with Uli was great, starting from our very first video chat. She had a genius recommendation for us to get Deutschland tickets that wound up being a fraction of the cost of paying for daily trips on the metro, buses, and regional trains everywhere, and even getting to Salzburg. We stayed in touch with Uli leading up to our stay and felt very comfortable and excited going to stay at her flat while she and her sister came to stay at ours. We saw each other briefly at the airport as we took the same plane they arrived in.
Throughout our exchange Uli was very quick to answer any questions we had and always had great ideas for us. We had the luck to meet Uli’s daughter Chiara and explore the picturesque Castle Herrenchiemsee together, as well as the nearby island while having the best apple strudel and hand made marzipan we have ever tried. Chiara was the sweetest, just like her mom, and just as helpful.
We had a chance to spend some time with Uli before heading back home. We explored a beautiful monastery together with an adjacent brewery and huge, delicious pretzels. As a bonus, we also checked out Starnberg lake and town, and finally tasted a unique Bavarian dessert we have heard of, but haven’t tried yet (kaiserschmarrn). On our last day, Uli was very kind to take us to the metro station in her car.
Uli took amazing care of our home. When we got back, it’s almost like no one had stayed here, except there were some gifts on the table and a thoughtful thank you note.
Thanks a lot. I am glad that you enjoyed your time in Munich. Come back any time!
Eva, Dusan and sweet little Klara stayed at my place and visited many of Munich’s museums. I had the luck to meet them in person and have a nice chat. Baby Klara is just the cutest. Communication prior and during their stay was excellent and we kept in touch during the exchange. They were perfect guests and left the apartment spotless and took great care of the plants.
Dear Eva, Dusan and Klara, it has been a pleasure hosting you. Thank you for the lovely gifts from Bratislava and the beautiful cyclamen. I hope you could enjoy your stay despite the rainy weather. Come back any time!
Eva and I agreed on a simultaneous exchange in September. Due to the severe floods in those days I could not go. Eva was so kind as to offer me to stay some days in October. But due to family reasons, again, I couldn't go. I am sure at some point, another possibility to visit beautiful Bratislava will come up. Surely then there will be only nice things to tell about Eva's and Dusan's and little Klara's place and the area they live in.
Samantha and Karen are perfect guests. They stayed with me for a couple of days to spend some time in Munich and most importantly to see Adele in concert. Weather was great and I am happy they enjoyed summer in the city and of course the concert.
Not only did they take great care of my place and left it spotless, but they also brought the most delicious Irish chocolates and super cute gifts.
I completely recommend inviting them into your home. Samantha and Karen are easy going and very nice people to have around and great fun, as well. I am glad, we could meet in person. I loved our chats in the kitchen and in the heat of the noon on the balcony.
Dear Samantha and Karen, it was a pleasure having you and I hope to see you again in Munich or in Kilkee!
Leonie and Colin were so kind to welcome me into their home while I was looking for a share house to stay at during my semester at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Their lovely modern and spacious home is located within easy walking distance to a great beach and all daily necessities like supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants.
But, most importantly, Leonie and Colin are super nice and the most caring people. They went out of their way to make my first weeks in Australia as comfortable as possible, they helped me with so many things such as transport, getting a bank account and phone number set up and so much more!
If you ever get the chance to host or stay with Leonie and Colin: go for it!
Dear Colin and Leonie, thank you so much for everything. I hope to see you in Germany!

We stayed nearly three weeks at Lana’s, Roger’s and their son Ryan's place. Coimbra is a charming smalltown in the middle of Portugal, within easy reach are many lovely beaches, mountain hikes, monasteries and of course, Lisbon and Porto. Lana and Roger were so kind as to point us to several nice restaurants where we had the best grilled fish. They also prepared a guidebook for us with extremely helpful suggestions on what to do in and around Coimbra.
Their apartment is spacious and clean with everything you need for a nice vacation. If you want to you can also make your own yoghurt. They also left some delicious treats for us. Everything was in place to make our time in Coimbra smooth and enjoyable.
Getting around in Coimbra and getting to other towns by train or bus was easy and there was always an Uber or Bolt to catch, very cheap and convenient.
We enjoyed our stay in Coimbra a lot. Thank you, guys and hope to see you again.
I was delighted to get the chance to host Lana, Roger and their son Ryan on a simultaneous exchange. They are an easy going and open-minded family and perfect guests. Communication with them was easy and we kept on texting during the exchange to see if everything went to their liking and to find out what sights they decided to visit. As we returned a couple of days prior to them, we had the opportunity to spend some time together on an excursion to the countryside and get to know each other a little bit.
In addition to that, they left my flat spotless. Lana took great care of my plants and Roger even got to change a bulb and tighten some screws. Their teenage son Ryan is a very clever and educated young man with interesting views on different topics. Completely recommend inviting this lovely and considerate family into your home!
To Lana, Roger and Ryan: I wish you many more happy exchanges and hope to see you again some time. Always welcome!

Hi, I am a freelance teacher, at the moment mostly working from home. My two adult kids are both going to university out of town and staying with me most weekends.
We love to explore new places, hiking in the mountains or spending time at the water. We enjoy cities as well as the country side. Looking forward to new adventures!
