Liked: Cleanliness

Decent place with a couple minor issues

Plenty of space just in a secure area up the hill from downtown Lugano. A couple issues: - Didn’t have hot water two days. Technician responded and fixed it same day we brought it up. Could not figure out the thermostat and don’t see the instruction book supposedly provided. - Garage is tiny and scraped the side of a compact rental even with my spouse guiding me. Mentioned to agency who said I could park elsewhere to include a paid spot. Found a free parking area instead. - TV: there was a Acer computer monitor, VCR, and other equipment. Didn’t even bother or care about it. Wi-Fi: fast and reliable. Laundry: Ad said: Laundry facilities. There was a 5 kilo washer and two half broken drying racks. Agency didn’t respond to my query. Hair dryer: broken and not functional. Agency do not address my message. Kitchen: all frying pans were cheap and very scratched. No idea what they were made of, but probably not very healthy. Decent overall, but ad could be more accurate.
