Location-wise, this apartment couldn't be more perfect. It's in the heart of Como, perched above the lively Via Grassi and overlooking Via Garibaldi. Everything is within easy reach here – shops, restaurants, you name it. Noise is likely, given the central spot, but we think it suits couples keen to explore. When you’re not seeing the sights, you can unwind in the large bedroom or enjoy a glass of wine on the street-facing balcony. The kitchenette is quite basic, so eating out is recommended. The lounge also has a sofa bed, but we think the pad is perfect for two.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a very small hob. Due to the lack of equipment and small size, we recommend eating out.
*This apartment is on the second floor and the building lacks a lift. Expect to climb stairs here.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
