We stayed at Monika's place for 3 months in 2017. It's hard to summarize what a fantastic experience it was. As people who were new to Munich (and all of Germany), we couldn't have asked for a better host during our time there. Monika and her family gave us space to relax and explore, but were always willing to share recommendations, secrets/insights, and provide help when we needed it. When we first arrived after an overnight flight, we entered the apartment to find breakfast (sausages, pretzels, rolls with jelly, champagne...) waiting for us on the table. When our dog-sitter failed to show up and left our pup home alone overnight, we sent a text to Monika and her son, Ingmar, took the dog for a walk and stayed with him until we were able to get home. Those are just a couple examples of the kindness and thoughtfulness we experienced while staying there. Sometimes, we would wake up to a vase of flowers at our front door or a covered plate with breakfast. Monika and her family made us feel like we were family members, as well. We will definitely stay with them again if we're lucky enough to get back to the area. The location is extremely convenient: the house is maybe a 5 minute walk from an S-Bahn station (S6, which arrives every 20 minutes), which is only two stops from Pasing Bf. You will be close enough to get to the center of the action after a quick train trip, but at the end of a busy day surrounded by tourists, you'll appreciate the tranquil, residential feeling of the neighborhood. You're also a 5-minute walk from a small grocery store, a bank, a drug store, and a fantastic bakery and butcher. A couple tips that might be helpful if you'll also be staying for awhile: there's a good, convenient, safe, inexpensive laundromat (washers/dryers) 2 blocks from Pasing station; we used O2 for internet access and generally did okay with two of the 7MB SIM card plans; there's a great "local" biergarten (pretty much known only to neighborhood residents) a 30 minute walk away (ask Monika for directions!)--the beer and food were great! Graefelfing is a decent walk (or super fast bus or s-bahn ride) away and has more shops, restaurants, and things like that. We think that you will be very happy you decided to stay with Monika; when you see her, tell her we miss her (and are sending her hugs from across the ocean!) Have a great time!
