Wonderful

Let’s start with Sara being a magnificent host. She communicates in very precise terms and is so friendly. The views of the lake are simply AMAZING. I worried about the warm weather and the unit not having AC. There is a draft through the unit throughout the day and with the cool evenings, well sleeping comfortably was not a problem. Will definitely be back one day.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was probably the best view I’ve ever had from a rental! Unfortunately, with the heat wave across Europe temperatures had been in the high 80’s and there is no AC in this apartment. It didn’t get below 90 F in the apartment our first night and the two fans that were there did little to help. We were working remotely in the evenings and it was almost impossible to try and work and concentrate in that sort of heat, so we ended up finding a new place that had AC for the rest of our stay. However, everything about this apartment was wonderful! Sara, the property manager was great and communication could not have been better. The apartment is a bit up and out of the main town, but there’s a grocery store walking distance and the views are so spectacular! The apartment was clean and had plenty of room for 3 of us. It was also one of the few rentals we’ve had in Italy that supplied coffee and the basics (salt, pepper, olive oil, etc.). I would absolutely stay here again if visiting Como and tempatures were cooler.
