Reviews

• Elly from Singapore – 8 June 2023 (10/10)

  Loved the apartment! It was clean and felt very homey. Host was very prompt in replies and very helpful too! Gave us recommendations for restaurants. Apartment is fully equiped with a microwave, kettle, iron board and so on. Location was amazing too! Very convenient to travel out, about 7-10 mins walk to the train station & 5 mins walk to vaporetto stop (Riva De Biaso). Supermarket (Conad) is only 2 mins away from the apartment and a few restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!
  
  What could be improved: Maybe can consider a small light at the courtyard area downstairs as it gets pretty dark at night. Also, to reach the apartment you need to take a small flight (11 steps) of stairs but it was manageable!
