Moma2 - ByMyHomeInComo

Great central location in Como, close to ferries and all shops, restaurants and bars. Place all exactly like the pics as shown in the add and clean and quiet ( well except for the noisy binmen in the street two days a week but that's hardly the landlords fault ! :)

The property has been recently renovated and so everything was in great condition and all exactly as shown in the pics, one small detail for the landlord to note ( which others have mentioned too) is that they need to replace / improve the curtains, either by putting a backing material on the existing thin curtains ( or just changing them for thicker curtiains with black out material to the back AND importantly ADD a curtain on the small narrow window in the corner as the neighbours CAN I'm fairly sure see in to the apartment even with the existing curtains closed. Also without that blackout material it’s impossible to stop light getting in to the apartment which then caused us both to wake up way to early each morning - whether we wanted to or not. But aside from that one small thing which I’m sure will be addressed at some point I’d happily recommend this place to others for a few days / weeks stay in Como. One other thing to be aware of and to factor in to your arrival day time planning is re having to attend the landlords agents office IN PERSON to collect the key code ( I realise it’s the law there now for them to meet renters in person but after a long flight that additional 50 minute walk ( in total from the train station and back) to the office and back to the accommodation was something we could definitely could done without and perhaps them meeting the guest on their arrival at the property would have been better ( for us certainly) I accept though they’re very busy but we are the customer after all - so whilst just a small detail definitely one to be aware of that’s required just so you can plan / be aware of it being needed time wise on arrival when you get there.

The apartment fully matches the photos. The interior is nice, and the main room (bedroom-kitchen) is spacious. The curtains on the windows are not very thick, but they didn’t disturb my sleep. The apartment has everything needed for a 4-day stay. There’s no dishwasher, but there is a washing machine, which was a plus for me. The location is amazing – the apartment is just one block away from Duomo Como. There are plenty of shops and cafés around, and a grocery store is nearby, which was very convenient as a tourist. The street is quite noisy in the evening because there’s a café right below the windows, but it wasn’t a major issue for me

However, the heater is extremely noisy. We had to turn it off at night, which made the room quite cold by morning. One thing I found confusing was the online check-in, where we had to upload a passport photo, yet I still had to meet the host in person to show the passport. Only after that I can go to the apartment, even though the keys were already in a lockbox next to the door.

Everything was great!

The WiFi didn't quite work and came back from my shooting and couldn't send the files. Also the radiator was leaking. Things that could be fixed but I was there for a day and a half.
