Amazing apartment and down stairs como lake Second time renting Luca is a friendly and helpful person Thank you Luca

Nothing

- Situated in a nice local town - Only 2 mins by foot access to the lake - Very good pizzeria in town - Smart TV - Shower with very hot water - Free water and coffee machine

There are a few annoying things that would be easy to fix for the owners to make stays here even more comfortable: - No check-in instructions were sent - There is no curtain for the window - No hangers for clothes were provided - The description suggested there would be a fridge so we brought some supplies only to find out there was none. It was not addressed proactively and no solution was offered - Wifi password could be changed to something shorter so guests can easily connect - There is an espresso machine with 2 capsules provided, but with 2 persons staying 2 nights it would have been nice to provide at least 1 capsule per person and night as you would not expect someone to bring this along in their baggage

The property was located very close to the lake and a couple of nice restaurants. It was nicely decorated with a modern vibe and was clean. Beautiful location in a natural heritage protected town, a few steps from the lake across the road. The host was very helpful and quick to respond via WhatsApp and even hand delivered a fan for us. Great TV with streaming apps for the kids to enjoy. Well equipped kitchen - some basic condiments such as salt/pepper/oil would have been useful.

Pictures were misleading in terms of size - was not a comfortable or practical stay for 4 people, suitable only for 2. The sofa bed downstairs took up the entire living area and there was no where for the extra suitcases to go, so we were stumbling over them whilst trying to access the kitchen (all one room). Very very claustrophobic with 4 of us trying to get ready and make food etc, especially in the heat, and unpractical when needing to all get washed and dressed. Hot water was sporadic when wanting to shower and my husband had to resort to a cold shave. The bathroom had a funny smell emanating from the sink when the toilet was flushed, the bidet plug was broken so could not be easily drained. The most disappointing aspect was the main bedroom; the bed frame was broken underneath and this also meant the mattress had developed a significant dip in the middle. My husband and I were rolling into one another in the middle all night, which is doubly uncomfortable when in the searing heat with no air con or fan! This meant that after the first night my husband’s back was very sore so we had to turn the mattress around to make it more bearable for the next 2 nights. Fan was delivered the next morning, which helped a little. The other thing to note is that the initial notes about our stay stated that there would be wine/champagne for the guests, however when I enquired about this I was told it was an extra service on demand and to be paid for - no where on the booking did it state this so be aware this is not included as implied. Not a huge deal but would have been nice as we had expected this after our 5hr drive upon arrival.

Very original place, decorated with taste. Luca was a wonderful guest.

The place was awesome, Luca great guest. the people of Brienno and the area are terrible. Kind of tourist racists and you can feel it strongly. Como will not be a destination for us again. Common feeling from the 4 of us.

Flat was clean, beautifully decorated & well equipped. Few steps away from the lake. Lovely village & really friendly locals. Nice pizza restaurant as you enter the village. Free parking available (within white parking spaces) apprx 200 to 300 m from the property.

The sofa bed was not comfortable and did not work for 2 people. No view, but a few steps away from the lake - wooden decking with access to the water.

Not the busiest village, 2 breakfast places close by

Black mold in bathroom Too much musty smell in the entire apartment High humidity Very hard to find parking

Beautiful property and lovely host, located nearby to the waterfront. The apartment has a lot of character and is furnished amazingly, very relaxing and hidden away.

Location is slightly far away from any of the bigger towns in around lake como, however there is a regular bus to take you between towns.

This nice apartment in the the village of Brienno is a gem - nice decor - good amentities - comfortable bed and bathroom - super quiet and peaceful place

Parking was a bit tricky, along a narrow road some 200m from the apartment - there was no view, since it is dug deep between other building, but there is a short pathway to the lake and it was great - the TV was awful, really slow and outdated
