This apartment was perfect for our three-night stay. It is in an amazing location right beside the beautiful Duomo, very handy to excellent shopping and just a couple of blocks’ walk from the lake front, ticket office, ferries and funicular. There are many restaurants and cafes in the area. The apartment itself is very comfortable with a spacious, separate double bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room for a third person. It is on the 3rd/4th floor (so try not to bring too much heavy luggage!) above a quaint restaurant and has a nice outlook on to the street. The bathroom is small, as you would expect in an inner-city apartment, but it has everything you need. The staff are fantastic to deal with - Elisabetta was always very responsive to our messages and the guy who came to check us out and refresh the apartment for the next guests did all he could to help us try to call a taxi to San Giovanni station. (FYI, in the end, we had to give up and run through town with all our bags to avoid missing our train. It’s usually only a 15-min walk across town, and a really nice walk, too, but we couldn’t get an Uber and there were no cabs at the nearby ‘office’. Como Lago station is really close to the apartment so consider taking a train to/from there if you have a lot to carry. Otherwise, try to book a cab in advance.) Overall, we had an amazing time in Como and loved staying at Le Stanze del Lago! We definitely recommend it.
