“Art exhibition space converted to accommodation.”

The place sits in a convenient spot near the train, grocery stores, cafés, restaurants and bars, and the space is big enough that four adults felt at ease. You have to climb about 10 stairs to reach the apartment, but the kitchen is fully equipped and the Wi‑Fi is fast and reliable, with good beds. However, it isn’t a hotel at all – it looks like a basement art exhibition turned into lodging. The biggest issues were that all lights are controlled from a single main switch box; there are no switches inside the rooms, which feels illegal and unsafe, especially in Australia. The main bathroom is just one large concrete‑floored space, and after showering you must mop the floor yourself. The second bathroom is so tiny it’s practically useless. Also, the art on display is quite sexualised and large, so families with young children might want to look elsewhere.

“Subterranean airbnb falsely marketed as a hotel. Avoid.”

The location is handy, but this isn’t a hotel – it’s a cellar turned into a single unit, basically an Airbnb evading local rules. The “showers” are just spigots above the floor with an industrial squeegee to push water to the drain, no doors or curtains. Only one corner of the unit has a light switch; otherwise you must flip circuit breakers. The washing machine had mildewed clothes and the kitchenette had expired food. Because the unit is underground with no windows and no vents, airflow in the sleeping areas is zero. There’s no way to file a complaint in real time since the owner keeps a key and can access the unit, including the sleeping quarters, at any moment. I was traveling with a small child during a peak tourist period when the city was sold out, so we had no alternatives even after realizing we had been scammed. I’m still working with the Munich police to get a resolution.

“Great host, cool apartment”

The space is great for a group of friends, comfortable, and the location is good. The only downside is the complicated lighting system, and the sound system needs an upgrade.

“Modern clean apartment with all the amenities required”

The apartment is spacious and modern, and even though it’s a basement, it still receives plenty of natural light from the terrace beside the living room. Parking, however, is a bit tricky.

The size is nice and the staff were friendly and flexible when we arrived. Functionality was lacking: to turn off the lights you had to go to the main fuse box, the shower had no curtains, and the bedroom felt more like a dungeon. The projector and sound system were all good but not very practical. In short, I wouldn’t rent again.
