I can’t stress enough how great this apartment is.
It looks even better than the photos. All the beautiful designer furniture is still there, and even better everything else is of a similar high end quality! Amazing fluffy towels, high thread count bedding, stylish cutlery, crockery and glasses. Beautifully finished bathroom with dream hall shower. It all goes together to create a real luxury hotel vibe!
The private little outdoor space is accessed from a number of French doors which open out to it from the livingroom, kitchen and bedroom, giving the apartment the feeling of even more space. And it’s perfect for a shady outdoor breakfast or evening nightcap!
The location is great. Just out of the touristy centre, but amazingly well connected. The metro is only 5mins walk away at Garibaldi station, but the area has a few tram lines too, which we preferred to use as you got to see the city as you pootle along in the vintage trams.
The area itself is busy with good restaurants, spilling out onto the pedestrianised street. The street changes character a little on Friday & Saturday nights as the bars and nightclubs fill up, which may be off-putting to some, but the apartment is through a large vintage gate and across to the other side of a private courtyard, so once inside you never heard the busy street at all
The neighbours are also great! You have Eataly 3 mins away for great quality groceries (and the best breakfast eggs we’ve ever tasted). 3 mins the other way is Princi, the luxury bakery for all your morning bread needs. And just next door is the Corsa Como concept store, with a great courtyard coffee shop to unwind in.
We had a small issue with the hot water boiler which Roberta quickly explained how to fix. She was great at replying to questions and fast too. She was also really accommodating when our flight was nearly 2 hours late and we arrived in the middle of the night! We even had a special gift waiting for us in the apartment which was a lovely touch.
Amazing apartment, amazing host... we will be back for sure!
