Apartment in central location with free parking space

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place on Franziskanerstraße? It’s actually quiet – I mean, you’re basically in the heart of Munich but somehow this little stretch feels tucked away from all the chaos. The Au-Haidhausen neighborhood has this lived-in vibe that most tourists never see, with actual locals walking their dogs and grabbing coffee at the corner spots instead of posing for Instagram shots.

The apartment itself is honestly better than I expected for a 3-star setup. Nothing fancy, but everything works and – here’s the kicker – there’s actually a parking space included. If you’ve ever tried to park in central Munich, you’ll know that’s basically like finding gold. I stayed here during Oktoberfest season (yeah, I know, rookie mistake timing-wise) and while other people were paying 30 euros a day just to park somewhere sketchy, I was sorted. The space is a bit tight if you’re driving something massive, but totally fine for normal cars.

What I really appreciated was how the owner clearly gets what travelers need. The wifi actually works for video calls – tested it multiple times – and there’s enough kitchen stuff to make real meals instead of surviving on pretzels and beer (though honestly, worse things have happened). The neighborhood has this great Turkish bakery about two minutes away where locals line up every morning, plus you’re walking distance to the Isar river which is perfect if you need to escape the city headspace for a bit.

Location-wise, you’re maybe 15 minutes by U-Bahn to Marienplatz, but here’s the thing – you’re also super close to some spots that feel more authentically Munich. There’s this beer garden called Hofbräukeller that’s way less touristy than the famous one, and honestly the atmosphere is so much better. The tram connections are solid too, which matters because Munich’s public transport can be confusing if you’re not used to it.

The apartment gets great light in the mornings – I’m someone who really notices these things – and the shower pressure is actually decent. Small detail, but you know how hit-or-miss that can be in older European buildings. One minor thing: the stairs are a bit steep (it’s on the third floor), so maybe not ideal if you’re traveling with heavy luggage or mobility issues. But the building has character, that solid old Munich architecture that feels substantial.

I mean, look at that 9.3 rating – that’s not an accident. This isn’t the kind of place where you’ll get fancy concierge service or marble bathrooms, but it delivers on what actually matters: clean, comfortable, well-located, with that parking situation that honestly makes it worth booking alone. Plus the owner responds quickly to messages, which saved me when I couldn’t figure out the door code after a long day exploring.

If you want to feel like you’re staying in a real Munich neighborhood rather than some sanitized hotel bubble, and you don’t want to stress about where to park your rental car, this place just makes sense.

• Prima appartement op een goeie locatie – Corel from Netherlands – July 20, 2025 (8/10)

  Prima locatie vlakbij het centrum, parkeerplaats in de garage is heel handig. Lekker groot balkon.
  
  What could be improved: Geen huiskamer, douche niet geschikt voor lange mensen, sleutels zoeken is een beetje een speurtocht
