Guest Reviews
- Marislene (8/5): - A limpeza e o conforto A comunicação com anfitrião.
O endereço não corresponde ao informado.
Tivemos muita dificuldade em encontrar a casa
- Annamaria (10/5): -
- Dragan (10/5): -
- Laura (7/5): agréable - l’emplacement Le canapé convertible
- Brage (6/5): Good price. Mid/mid-plus stay. - Nice apartment. Spacious. Easy to use. Practical location. Some equipment for cooking. Good price Late communication. Didn’t have bed sheets for everyone, only for two, we were three. Didn’t have any base ingredients for cooking. I had to cook my onions in oil from my pesto. It turned out alright tho. But we had to use McDonalds salt and pepper from the local McDonalds to season our tomato sauce (The person who gave us the salt and pepper looked really surprised when we ordered McFlurry and asked for salt and pepper). They didn’t have a mixer, so we also had some tomato skin in the sauce. Good dinner over all. The WiFi is really really bad. Considering we are in 2026 and Gen Z is visiting this apartment it’s really bad. I had to use my friends phone WiFi to watch F1. Also if you’re going to Lugano, pack some extra money.
- ANASTASIOS (8/5): Excelent, clean apartment in great location. - Very comfotable, spacious and modern apartment for 2 people. 5 min walk to the train station. Very clean, warm and practical. Fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bathroom, comfortable bedroom! Communication with the owner (through booking messaging) was a bit lagging probably due to the fact that any issues were been dealt by the managing office and not personally.

- Edina (9/5): Vale muito escolher aqui! - Limpeza, conforto, ambientes amplos e com todo o necessário para a estadia, super recomendo A iluminação pode ser melhorada, principalmente no quarto. É o único item de conforto nota 9, o restante é 10
- Mogos (10/5): - Die Küche 👍🏿 Sofa😊
- Carmen Veronica (10/5): -
- Vantaggiato (7/5): È andato tutto bene, ma poteva andare meglio - Un appartamento bello di recente ristrutturazione con un bagno molto comodo e spazioso e una cucina funzionale Il divano letto non è adatto per essere usato per più di una notte. È scomodo e non è adatto al riposo. Tre rotoli di carta igienica per 4 ospiti che dovevano soggiornare per tre giorni, era ovviamente poca!
- Arkadiusz (7/5): Było ok. - Przestronne wnętrza, dość nowocześnie urządzone pomieszczenia. Rozkładana sofa w salonie, bardzo nie wygodna, nie nadająca się do spania.
Dokładnie nie było posprzątane, panele niedoczyszczone, fugi w łazience brudne , przeciekający prysznic.Materiały eksploatacyjne tj. Tabletki do zmywarek, worki na śmieci, papier toaletowy przy dłuższym pobycie powinna być większa ilość. Lampka przy łóżku w sypialni stoi, tylko nie ma gniazdka w pobliżu żeby ją podłączyć. Uszkodzona zmywarka - coś w środku popękane, ciężko było domknąć.
- Gabriel (10/5): Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. - Tout était parfait et c’est à refaire Rien à signaler
- Vincenzo (8/5): - La posizione e la gentilezza dalla proprietà. Non ci sono parcheggi
- Bobby Teck Guan (7/5): BAD ARRIVAL EXPERIENCE - The location was convenient, 350m from train/bus station. There was no directional map to guide guests when they arrive at Lugano FLP. The GPS led us around a good 1km walk to arrive at the apartment when it's actually just 350m away. Mind you we have heavy luggage and there were no taxis at the station. The roads were hilly. Quite a tiring unpleasant arrival experience. To The HOST, JUST DRAW A MAP FOR YOUR GUESTS!!
- Letizia (9/5): Piacevole e comodo - Appartamento moderno, molto curato e pulito. Con tutti i sevizi necessari e a soli 10 minuti a piedi dal centro di Lugano. Cuscini molto comodi e bagno ampio e pulito. Il divano letto è un pò sottile. Lavastoviglie funzionante ma con una guaina difettosa.
- Virginia (8/5): -
- Alexandros (7/5): - The location Very poor internet and the complaint handling by the company
- Aniello (10/5): Passati due gg fantastici prima volta a Lugano - Tutto molto spettacolare, molto pulita e molto calda, tutto quasi nuovo. Wi-Fi è un po divano scomodo e cercare un posto auto
- Romero (10/5): -
- Grand (10/5): - Tout
- Olianggely (5/5): - La ubicación, la anfitriona muy amable y resolutiva ante cualquier duda y la decoración que es muy amplio y moderno El sofá cama es muy incómodo para dormir y el wifi tiene problemas con la conexión prácticamente no funcionó en toda la estadía .

- chelo (4/5): - La casa non é adeguatamente pulita
- Maria (9/5): Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in dieser tollen Unterkunft - Alles super, gerne wieder!
- Nadine (5/5): - Die Wohnung war nur wenige Gehminuten vom Bahnhof entfernt. kein WLAN bzw. der mobile Internetstick funktionierte nicht,
der Geschirrspüler war kaputt,
Das Schlafsofa hat extrem gequietscht und war selbst für junge Kinder eine Zumutung zum Schlafen, da es durchhing und hart war,
beim Geschirr fehlten Teller
- Christoph (8/5): - tolle Lage, ruhig Store Schlafzimmer geht nicht ganz nach unten, daher hell am Morgen. Müsste repariert werden.
Es steht zwar ein TV-Gerät im Zimmer, allerdings ohne Funktionen.

- Ersu (1/5): - Ich konnte die Wohnung nicht betreten, weil sich die Tür nicht öffnen ließ. Der Eigentümer der Wohnung war sehr unhöflich und kümmerte sich überhaupt nicht darum.
- Peter (9/5): -
- Annamaria (9/5): È andato tutto bene, pulizia ottima - Tutto Parcheggio difficoltà
- Iva (9/5): -
- Fabrice (6/5): Très bien pour 2 piétons. - Propre, calme, proche du centre ville. Enfer pour se garer (travaux partout en particulier au parking de la gare), difficile d’arriver en moto au bon endroit selon le gps utilisé, lit convertible peu confortable
- Famhartom (10/5): Sehr gut - Lage war Top, Abwicklung unkompliziert, Support sehr gut Nichts
- Djordje Drobac (9/5): - Moderan, dobro opremljen apartman, čistoća na visokom nivou, u blizini železničke stanice. Mirno i tiho. Za svaku preporuku. Bez zamerki.
- Miroszlav (7/5): - The apartmanet was modern and well equipped, looks exactly what can be seen on the pictures. - The cleanness of the floor was not satisfactory, maybe the cleaning stuff forgot the mopping. This could be better, but in general the cleaning was OK.
- We were in Room 4 (which has 1 bedroom), the sofa bed in the living room was extremely uncomfortable. If you plan to book this apartment for 4 person, consider to choose a bigger one with 2 bedrooms.
- Marc (4/5): Good location, but not clean - Good location - We found blankets in the wardrobe, but there were no bed sheets, which is unhygienic.
- One of us found glitter on himself after getting up in the morning (indicating that the blanket or bed was not clean).
- We found dirty dishes in the kitchen cupboard.
- Not enough toilet paper.
- Azadeh (9/5): Superb -
- Tetiana (7/5): Good - New apartments, not far from the center dirty floor, as well as synthetic bedding
- Yaw (2/5): This is the worst stay I have encountered on this website. - The property was modern with tiles and had a functional kitchen and bathroom. 1. The access to the property was very challenging with no vehicular access and located halfway down a long flight of stairs. This was not conveyed by the owners of the property until 24 hours prior to check-in. This made planning to transfer luggages almost impossible given the short notice. I have a chronic lower back pain issue which was operated on 18 months ago and this severely impacted ingress/egress of the property. This is a physical risk which should have been identified right from the beginning. Had I known this was the case, I would not have booked the property.
2. Given my prior knowledge of Lugano accommodation, I had actually booked an apartment advertised to be sufficient for 4 persons even though we were two people. However, after checking in, we discovered that all the amenities were for two people - two bath towels, two hand towels etc. When we requested for additional sheets/towels, the answer was a swift and definite “No”. This was despite having a booked a four-night stay at this property for a hefty sum of money.
3. There were multiple issues with the amenities not in working condition including the TV, blinds not closing properly and hair found in the towels provided - all were raised on the first night that we checked in, and subsequently raised again with the manager. None of these were addressed upon our check out 4 days later.
4. The manager asked us to leave the property if we had so many issues with it instead of working to address these issues which should not have been there in the first place. In my over 35 years of overseas travel and staying at various accommodations - hotels, motels, apartments, Air BNB, this is the first time I have encountered this level of poor and totally unhelpful service in addition to the threats and abusive language used on clients.
I would ask anyone considering to stay here to steer clear from this property and the people who manage this.
- Zili (10/5): Very tidy house and worth the values. - Very clean and modern interior. The host doesn’t tell me that the outside fence door needs to be pushed hard to open, let me mistakenly thought the door was locked and I had to climb over the fence to get inside 😅.
- Sridhar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Quinn (8/5): Very good -
- Illias (7/5): Good - Clean, desent High price compare to services
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brigitta (7/5): Good - Nice and clean apartment close to the station (prepare to take your suitcase down some stairs though). The sofa bed is creaking extremely loud at night so it is not really convenient for 4 people.
The single usage towels are strange, usable but we don't really understand how it is more environmentally friendly to throw them out than to wash a normal one.
- Rita (10/5): Exceptional - The furniture and design were beautiful, the location ideal, it's got everything you need.
- Jody (6/5): Good value for the price, if they take care of a few problems. - Easy to get to from the train station. Very clean. Air conditioning worked well at keeping the kitchen/living room area cool [did not reach into the bedroom/bathroom as well]. Everything was new. Good sized space. Very reasonably priced. They didn't provide sheets/bedding for the sofabed. They could not be contacted by the phone # they had provided when we were trying to get bedding for the sofabed. The drain in the shower was plugged, and caused the shower to flood the bathroom floor, because of the modern shower design of not being contained within a tub or shower base. Airconditioning not as good at keeping bedroom/bathroom cool. Could use a dish drying rack. They provided "environmentally friendly" towels, which were supposedly compostable after being used. The towels worked, but were a bit weird. If these negatives are addressed, the place is really good value for the price.
- Juan (10/5): Clean, modern, and conveniently located near the central station and car rental - The apartment was spotless and looked brand new, conveniently located near the central station and car rental. Finding the door was a bit confusing, but the host's helpful video made it much easier. The central air conditioning only cools the common area, leaving the bedroom without air if the door is closed. Additionally, the lack of shades in the bedroom affects both privacy and comfort due to direct sunlight.
- Georgios (8/5): Very good - It was a renovated, modern and very nice apartment, very close to the main train station, buses and city center. It did not have soap liquid, body wash and shampoo. There were only two toilet papers for 3 guests and two nights and no plastic bag in the toilet bucket.
The third (sofa) bed was not prepared and no bedding set was available in the closets as the owner assured us. After contacting the owner, they brought the sofa sheets and left them outdoors (and not inside the room) in a plastic bag together with some extra biodegradable towels.
The towels were biodegradable and terrible using them - the feeling was like using a paper! Although we asked for cotton towels they did not respond. The explanation was that this is because these are environmentally friendly! It is the first time I find this type of towels in a hotel. My opinion is that it happened for cost reasons and for avoiding cleaning the cotton towels.
- Hooman (8/5): Very good - It is very comfortable. It doesn't have soap liquid and we sent a message to the landlord but he/she didn't answer it.
- Bugshan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gerson (5/5): Great location nice apartment, noisy guests - The facilities were great just as in the photos, everything worked well the communication with the host was great. We had some issues with other guests, they were doing a very loud party which didn’t let us sleep the following night people were screaming so we had a bad experience in that sense. The host was really helpful and attentive but that didn’t solve the situation completely.
