Apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Varenna. Inside everything was very clean and all appliances, dishes, etc. were in great condition (though we didn’t bother trying the TV). Shower stall will be a bit cramped for those of larger stature but we were fine (larger of us 5’ 8” 160lbs). Washer was a HUGE help, and with indoor drying stand and fan we were able to do wash before dinner, hang it before bed, and wake up to clean laundry. Overall the apartment is comfortable but more so pragmatic, but you do not visit Como to lounge on the couch. We experienced all forms of weather and temperature during our stay and never needed air conditioning. Lastly, Renata has enlisted the help of local expert Giada, who is extremely helpful and responsive and can be regularly spotted at the local shops or on her motor scooter. Clean, convenient, and beautiful location with great owners all for a price much better than a hotel. Hard to go wrong.
