Como Via Carcano 13

The location of the property was excellent for the city centre and old town. It is very close to both train stations and the ferry port. The interior was well presented and clean. The kitchen was well equipped.

Very little, the balcony area did not have a city view but was spacious and clean.

Location, air conditioning, spacious.

Our host Massimo met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. It was centrally located with easy access to an array of restaurants, cafes and bars as well as the lake and railway stations. Our apartment had everything we needed including a secluded outdoor space to retreat to. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous stay! Such a great location and the house was comfortable, clean and felt just like home. Thank you for a great stay.

Fully air conditioned, fantastic terrace with wonderful views and location for all the bars, restaurants and shops.

Everything.A fantastic two bed apartment with lift really centrally situated in Como.Was really clean & had great aircon too.Restaurants & coffee shops etc on the same street .Highly recommend

Loved it all,spacious modern apartment ,perfect

The apartment was so central and convenient for getting to bars, cafes, restaurants, and the lake. It was clean and tidy, with most of the facilities you would want and expect. It was very useful to have a washing machine and access to a shared dryer. My son loved the bunk beds in his room, which was nice and quiet at the back of the flat. The decor was simple but elegant. There was a coffee machine with lots of coffee and sugar supplied, which we used daily. The owner was easy to get hold of, friendly, and helpful.

It was noisier than expected, but this is understandable as it is right in the centre, amongst all the bars and restaurants. The sofa bed in the living room/kitchenette had a bit of a dip in the middle, but it was a good size. It would have been nice to have a little table next to the sofa. The sink in the bathroom drained very slowly and the shower could have done with a shelf, or hanging storage as we had to put the shampoo etc on the floor, but this was only a small thing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

First let’s get the negatives out of the way. By far the most efficient method for providing access and facilitating payment for apartments that do not have on site reception is the code secure key box by the door and bank transfer payment a couple of days prior to occupancy. From the owner perspective, they have payment and hence can expect the guest to turn up, and from the guest perspective, access to the apartment is readily available, irrespective of arrival time. The owner of Como via Carcano apartment 1A uses neither method but relies on personal contact at a specified arrival time. Meeting times are arranged via the Internet, which is often problematic, as guests are not guaranteed to have Wifi or Whatsapp access in Como. Whilst personal explanation of apartment operations and facilities are fine, written explanations are equally as good and a more permanent source of information. That’s enough negativity for one day! The apartment is on the 3rd floor with access via a small lift. There is a small external patio, shared with the adjacent apartment, with clear views of the funicular and mountain top. The apartment is relatively modern and spacious with a large integral kitchen, dining and lounge room. Large bedroom, reasonably sized bathroom/laundry, with a small adjoining room between the bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom has a nice, colourful feature stone wall, a soft but comfortable mattress, with plenty of bedside shelves, but a paucity of power and USB ports. The only criticism of the bathroom would be the lack of bench space around the vanity unit. The water was hot, the towels large and the washing machine functioned well. No drying facilities are provided but a free dryer is available on a lower floor for use of the building occupants. The kitchen and dining area cater for 4 occupants (the lounge doubles as a sofa bed). The kitchen includes a large fridge, new dishwasher, oven/microwave and a capsule coffee machine.

The access arrangements. Perhaps the lack of surface space in the bathroom and kitchen but we were only there for 4 days so let’s not split hairs. A minor inconvenience in the scheme of things!

The apartment was in a fabulous location and the view from the terrace was outstanding! It was really spacious and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location, right in the center, everything is accessible, great apartments, clean, comfortable, sincere recommendations :)

Great location. Lovely and clean.

Located in the pedestrian-only area of Como, it was perfect for our 11 day stay in Como. The host was so accommodating, quickly answering all our questions and even arranging transportation between the airport in Milan and Como. Everything we needed or wanted to do was just a short walk from the apartment: ferry pier, train station, funicular, lido, park, grocery store, and of course, lots of outdoor dining venues. In spite of its central location, the apartment was very quiet. It was exceptionally clean, nicely furnished and equipped, and had the most incredible views from the large windows and rooftop deck, complete with a small dining table and chairs, 2 zero gravity lounge chairs, and beautiful large potted plants.

The elevator stops at the 3rd floor and from there one must walk up a flight of stairs to reach the apartment on the 4th floor. This was no problem at all for us, but might be for those with limited mobility

Very good location, just in the middle of the old town. Very kind and helpful host. Clean and nice apartment.

Nothing really. Of course a bit expensive but when you think about the location and the standard it is worth it.

Great location, lovely flat. Would highly recommend for a group.

All the criteria we had looked for when choosing the property were fulfilled. As we were arriving by train location was important and the location to the station is brilliant but also central to the town and the lake. WIFi was great, air conditioning effective and the outside area was far better than we expected.

We have struggled to find anything we didn’t like about the property- maybe a lock on the bathroom door?

Amazing location and peaceful

Massimo was so welcoming and the apartment was stunning. We wished we could stay longer and hope to come back and stay again.

Nothing

Beautiful comfortable apartment and location was excellent. Our host Massimo was excellent and very prompt in answering any questions we had. Apartment in the centre of Como, only minutes from the train station and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend this Apartment and would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the rooftop and the apartment was amazing: modern, clean and well equipped, private terrace with a view of Brunate and Como's cathedral. The location of the apartment is excellent, in the center of the old town. Massimo is a great host. Very goog pasta restaurant near apartament. It was perfect for our family!
