Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet little apartment in the heart of Como! Everything was easy to get to from this central location. And the bakery/cafe right outside the doors was the icing on the cake!!! We would certainly stay here again!

Great Property and well furnished. Excellent location in Como. The check in is a bit unfair. We landed at train station very near the apartment and then have to take 2 taxi's to the property managers office ( 45 minutes and 30 Euros). It would have been nice for them to meet us at the apartment.Supply of Consumables could be improved ( soaps, detergent, toilet paper, etc) No Umbrella.Would recommend to friends.Cheers,Edward Carey

Centrally located apartment in Como. Close to restaurants and services, but quiet surrounding neighborhood. Lots of space in top floor unit. User friendly kitchen. Rooftop views of duomo and surrounding mountains. Easy 10 minute walk to ferry. Responsive and friendly host.

Cozy and well appointed in the center of Como

Great communication and responsiveness from the host. Check in was easy with step-by-step picture and video instructions. The apartment is well appointed- ample towels, ample pillows, sufficient kitchen ware (forks, cups, plates), and some nice extras (coffee capsules and biscuits). Everything worked as expected and the location is great. Would book again without hesitation

Thank you Maria. Your apartment was perfect for our stay in Como. It had everything we needed, was clean, comfortable and well equipped. A perfect central location to explore Como, the lake and lots of villages around the lake. I would recommend to anyone wanting a central apartment. Thank you again. X

Great apartment, excellent location

I stayed 4 weeks in this apartment, and it was very comfortable, well appointed kitchen, dishwasher, decent size bathroom, air con, comfy bed, plenty of wardrobe space, in a relatively central part of the city but on a more quiet street, on the 4th floor (no lift, just 56 steps) above a cafe that baked pastries every morning. The managers were very quick to respond to any problems I had (hardly any, just an electrical issue early on). I would definitely stay here again. 5 stars.

Central Como

Good central location, very short walk to the lake, shops and cafes. Easy 12 minute walk from train station. Apartment was very clean, tidy, well equipped and a comfortable bed. Easy access to apartment as was able to watch YouTube video. Only bad point is that there was no mention on website regarding the 57 steps to climb, especially when trying to carry 2 cases and being over 60. However would stay again

Super Convenient

I could go on and on but to keep it short and to the point, it was perfect for us. Had everything we needed. Great location, good bed, clean, roomy, modern, and great host. Can’t go wrong. The only potential issue is the stairs. Not an issue for us but it’s on the 3rd floor so carrying luggage up and down could be an issue. If we were to visit Como in the future , I would stay here again without question.

Nice clean apartment in central como, close to a lot of things. Only downside is it should’ve been described as an apartment for 4 people, the sofa bed is not comfortable at all, makes terrible noise for each movement. The apartment has sound proofing issue, toilet flushing is extremely loud. Fridge makes noise all night long. You can hear the breathing of the other people in the other room…

Perfect

Fantastic, comfortable apartment in the heart of Como. Short walk from train station with bags and close to everything. Very comfortable bed with all the mod cons in the apartment, including washing machine. Only downside was the stairs, we didn’t find that a problem but others might. Oh and it was very quiet which was appreciated after some long days. Maria was a great host, answering our questions promptly and looking after us, thanks Maria, greatly appreciated. The check in process could have been made easier but apart from that we enjoyed all Como had to offer. The funicular is well worth the ride and the view is breathtaking. We would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again and highly recommend it to others. Kind regards Rhonda and Wayne

Great place, great location, nice host

Stayed here July 1-6, 2024. Apartment is really clean. The 50+ stairs to get up to were a bit of a workout. Location is centrally located. 10 minutes to water, 10 minutes to the main train station. I gave only 4 stars on the check in process because there was another group "the travelers" involved in the check in process, and there was a little last minute confusion with how to get into the unit requiring passport pictures (could have been my fault for not reading all of the correspondence), but nothing too traumatic. Bed was comfortable. Lots of closet/drawer space. A/C worked well. Definitely go to the bakery in the building for coffee and croissants. If ever in Como again, I would stay here again. Maria is a great host, and helped us quickly when we had questions.

Charmer in the heart of Como

Newly renovated 3rd floor apartment that was very comfortable. Located in the heart of the city it was very easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Maria is a superior host and helped us get into and out of the apartment, she was very accomodating. One warning, it's on the 3rd floor and there is not an elevator. Not a problem unless you can't climb stairs. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked at home one night. Nice espresso coffee machine, we bought a box of pods and had fresh hot cappuccino every morning. Maria is a great communicator and WILL respond to your emails or texts.

Lovely, perfectly located apartment

Maria's apartment was perfectly situated in Como for easy access to everything including the trains and ferry's. There were adorable restaurants, cafes and shops all around the location. Maria was so nice and friendly - she offered some wonderful suggestions on where to eat and what to see and even drove us to the train station in the morning of our departure. The apartment itself is super nice and updated and comes with everything you may need, in including a top-floor view of the apartments and hills. The bed was the comfiest we had during our time travelling through Italy and the bathroom is nice and big.
