Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment in Como is a ten-minute stroll from the lake. Exploring here is easy – shops and restaurants are nearby, as is the ferry for excursions further afield. Want to sightsee in style? Your host is happy to arrange classic car hire, boat charters, and other fun experiences to make your getaway extra special. It isn't the biggest apartment, especially with two guests sharing a sofa bed. The kitchen is also compact and lacks an oven. However, the bedroom has a desk and plenty of storage space, and the location is top-notch. We think it's a good choice for couples or small families who enjoy spending their days out and about.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. Space will be a little tight, so we think it works best for children sharing or those visiting on a short trip.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. However, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
Given the central location, noise is to be expected.
The windows here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you may want to pack an eye mask.
