You couldn't dream up a better location for this sophisticated apartment perched right in the heart of Como's ancient streets and just a stroll away from the lakeside for aperitivo cocktails and people-watching. The living area and small balcony for two will feel snug if four of you are sharing, and there's not much of a view other than a glimpse of the neighbouring neoclassical facades. But we can let that slide for the rest of the home's sleek interiors and Juliet balcony windows which flood the space with natural light.

Home truths

    Parking in Como can be tricky, and there is no allocated parking at this apartment. We recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.

    The sofa area and balcony only seats two comfortably. You may find it a little tight in the living space if four guests share.

    The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra cost.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
