in desperate need of maintenance
The "Honeymoon" property was our third VRBO of the summer in Switzerland. The apartment layout, furnishings and view were all excellent. Unfortunately the property currently needs so much maintenance that is should not be rented again until repaired. We encountered a strong wet fishy smell in the primary bedroom and bath on check in which we subsequently determined was related to the floor under and around the primary bath shower which is rotting. The bathroom floor is buckling and black mold is halfway up the shower walls from the leaking shower pan.
We then discovered that there was no hot water in the kitchen! When I contacted the property manager, I was texted that the "owner" had chosen not to have hot water in the kitchen. We had to take pans of hot water from the bathroom to the kitchen to adequately clean up. In addition, the dishwasher constantly has a stale old food smell, even after running. The refrigerator was not adjustable and froze all the food.
Overall, this is a great property but in its current condition it should not be rented

We had high hopes for our stay at this apartment in Lugano. Yes it has the lovely advertised view but it has a number of shortcomings that were difficult to reconcile with the nightly rate.
Firstly the parking is terrible. The parking space is only 2.1m wide and only the narrowest of cars will fit, such as a Fiat 500. Our Peugeot 308 had 4cm clearance on either side and no way to open any doors. The alternative car park is restricted to 2 hours on Mon - Sat and was full when we found it. It is reached by a long staircase of 70 steps at the back of the building to another road.
Secondly the apartment faces south and gets full sun. When we were there the temperatures were in the low 30's and the apartment was like an oven. There is no air conditioning and sleep was very difficult.
The fridge and freezer was all iced up with some 3cm of ice covering the cooling plate making for quite a warm temperature inside.
There are no condiments such as salt or pepper and we were only given one dishwasher tablet. Such penny pinching on an expensive apartment.
So in summary a lovely view but if it's summer and you have a car I would suggest you look elsewhere.
