We love our Rome apartment choice - lots of space and great location. And we are OK with the Venice choice discussed here (and on separate thread).
MUNICH - As I did Munich research, I could see that places were starting to fill up for May, so I made a tentative/cancellable reservation for an inexpensive quad room at a budget hotel (Amba) very close to the train station. We plan some daytrips, so location is great for that (and train station food court when we need quick food - we hear the German sausage is good). But the place is a definite compromise. I didn’t have as good luck with VRBO/flipkey as room. So taking nominations for alternate hotel ideas.
