    Thanks Chef and TLG. A beer each me thinks.

    Gig is with one of the Pharma's around there, not sure which yet as it would be through a consultancy.

    I'll let you know if this comes off, not sure of the rate yet.

    went to Tagernsee Spa/Sauna Friday night, fantastic, highly recommended.

    saturday morning was St Christopher Street / Pride festival. Interesting to see the highly conservative Lederhausen wearing bavarian traditionalists mixing with pink latex wearing Pride goers in the Viktualianmarkt.

    Later we went to the hirschgarten/deer park beer garden on saturday after going to Nymphemberg castle (castle was dissappointing as there were no nymph's in site beer garden was excellent though, they had a fairground there aswell)

    sunday we headed over to the jazz beer garden which was nice and relaxing but didn't stay long as Id promised gf chef I'd cook for her and have a quiet evening in.

    all in all a great weekend

    I spent 5 years in Munich and visit fairly regularly.

    Who is the gig with? What area of Munich?

    Try homecompany.de for furnished flats and short period letting. Try Immobilienscout24.de for more standard letting.
    You do not see accomadation offered like it is in the UK. There are lots of small agents called Immobilien or makler.

    as always it depends on what you want and how much your willing to travel. Public transport is excellent in Munich and so you can live reasonably far out of town and commute.

    Generally on the whole I'd say your looking at around London prices for furnished rented accomodation, which is what you'd want for 4 months, and competition is quite intense for anywhere that is of a decent size, half decent location and has a kitchen.

    Your best bet is to take a look at http://www.mrlodge.de, they are the largest furnished short to medium term rental company I know of in Munich.

    You may also want to search http://www.toytowngermany.com for any questions about the city and living etc. or drop me a PM.

    My fee for the above information is 1 Paulaner or Augustiner Mass payable shortly after arrival

    regards

    Chef

    as some rough examples, I've had 2 places here in the last 6 months.

    The first was 70sqm, had a great country cottage style kitchen, large front room with drinks cabinet (half full courtesey of the ex tenant, but of cr@p like Saki or Jaegermeister), double bed, toilet and seperate bath shower and balcony located 4 km SE / 4 stops / 6 mins by tube from the dead center of town (i.e Marienplatz). 10 seconds walk from the nearest tube entrance. 1100€ p/month.

    The latest place is 65sqm, newly refurbished, small balcony, average front room, sky tv, new modern kitchen & bathroom, washer/drier, dishwasher etc. 2 mins walk from the tube. 4 stops / 7mins north of marienplatz located in trendy Schwabing district (i.e lots of nightlife). 1450€ p/month which isn't cheap but the apartment is worth it and I needed it all sorting in 4 days.
