Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Helle 3 Zimmer Souterrainwohnung in einem Neubau-Villa, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a basement-level apartment. But this four-star place in Munich‘s Thalkirchen district completely changed my mind about what a souterrain can offer. The villa itself is brand new, and you can tell — everything feels crisp and modern, with none of that musty basement smell you might worry about.
The Space Itself
The three rooms are genuinely bright (helle means bright in German, and they weren’t kidding), thanks to these oversized windows that let in way more light than you’d expect at this level. The kitchen is fully equipped — I mean, properly equipped, not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. You’ve got real counter space, a proper stove, and honestly, I ended up cooking more than I planned because it was just so pleasant to use. The living area flows nicely into the dining space, and there’s this sense of openness that makes the whole place feel much larger than typical Munich accommodations.
Location Perks
Reismühlenstraße might not ring a bell if you’re new to Munich, but it’s actually a smart choice for couples — which explains why pairs rate this place so highly. You’re in a proper residential neighborhood where locals actually live, not some touristy bubble. The S-Bahn connections are solid (you’ll want the Solln station), and I found myself walking to the Isar River more often than taking transit. There’s something refreshing about staying where Munich feels like a real city, not just a collection of beer halls and tourist sites.
What Makes It Work
The whole setup feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in typical hotel accommodation. You get your own entrance, which means no awkward lobby encounters when you’re carrying groceries or coming back late. The parking situation is straightforward — always a relief in Munich where finding a spot can be a genuine headache. I appreciated having space to spread out my stuff without feeling like I was living out of a suitcase, and the separate bedroom meant I could actually close a door and get proper sleep.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to work for everyone — if you need daily housekeeping or a concierge, you’ll want a traditional hotel. But for couples who want their own space and don’t mind being a bit outside the city center, it’s pretty ideal. The recent guests aren’t wrong about the location being top-notch — you get that residential Munich experience while still being connected to everything. Plus, at this price point in Munich, having three actual rooms with a real kitchen feels like getting away with something. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself staying an extra day just because leaving feels unnecessarily complicated.

Guest Reviews
It was super cozy and clean. Looks exactly like on the photos.
What could be improved: It is a bit far away from the city centre but there are different means of transport.
Super schöne, moderne und ruhige Wohnung.
Wir wurden super herzlich empfangen und kommen gerne wieder.
Wunderschöne Wohnung.
Modern, hell und gemütlich eingerichtet mit allem, was man braucht.
Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich.
Während des kurzen Aufenthaltes wurden wir gefragt ob alles in Ordnung ist und ob sie etwas für uns tun könnten - das hatte ich bisher noch nie.
Absolut empfehlenswert, wir kommen definitiv wieder
The host Ali and his wife are the nicest people you can imagine! Sooo kind, they made us feel totally home! The keys are in a safe at the door so the check in was easy and fast. Super quiet area, spotless refurbished apartment, zero noise to sleep, very comfortable beds. 10 minutes walk to U station, direct line to the city center, very easy to move around Munich from here. It is a basement indeed, but we did not care at all since it has plenty of light and it was only for shower and sleep, all day out and about anyway! And the silence to sleep like a baby makes it worth it!! 100% recommended.
Good host. Neat and clean.
What could be improved: Towels and napkins need attention
El apartamento está muy bien equipado y limpio, con todo lo que se necesite para una corta estancia.
El administrador te colabora al 100
What could be improved: Es lejos del centro, al rededor de media hora en una combinación de tramp y bus que no resulta difícil pero si es tarde en la noche no llega el bus.
Las almohadas muy malas
The host was responsive and the place easy to find. A very nice quarter with free parking in front of the house. A very clean apartment with good furniture, fast Internet, and all equipment needed for a quiet stay.
Would absolutely recommwnd this place to anyone.
Ali is a great host. He absolutely saved our lives by bringing us a beautiful bowl with fresh fruit, as our flight was delayed and we arrived later than planned, tired, hungry and sweating. All communication with Ali was really good and he is kind and caring.
We were also allowed to check out a bit later, which was really good 😊 The apartment is new and very nice in a quiet neighborhood and a beautiful house, even had a elevator., and so easy to get to and from with public transport.
What could be improved: I couldn't see that it was a basement apartment when booking it, so no view to outside, only to walls.The "balcony" is inside So a bit strange for us and not good if you're claustrophobic 😅. The beds were nice enough, but for to adults to sleep on 140 cm and 160 cm was a bit tight. With one pregnant woman and XL size women 🫣😂 The bed sheets and linen were mostly acrylic and itchy and maybe a bit to cheap for such a new and pretty apartment. Just a little hint to Ali 😉 So a basement apartment , which was a surprise, itchy bed linen gives a bad night sleep and size of beds , one of us ended up sleeping on the leather couch in the living room, therefore we give it a plus 8 😊
Location was lovely, nice quiet area not far from the city. Public transport very close to the apartment. The apartment was so comfy with great facilities as well.
What could be improved: The key was right beside the front door, I was a minute or so looking for it! But that was not too bad and I can't really fault the place otherwise.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was perfect and fully equiped. Our host, Ali, was very helpfull and available to us anytime. For sure I will stay here again.
