Good communication with Christian @ happy home rentals, a large apartment, a 2 seater couch was a shame but ok. we missed ventilators / airco so with 30+ degrees was very uncomfortable in the evenings. Kitchen with fridge / freezer was great. Coffee machine was also good. Beds were comfy and plenty of space for all luggage 👍

Garden on the lake 2
Apartement en communicatie was heel goed, meer zit plekken in woonkamen, meer verkoeling in slaapkamers en ontbijt borden zou het nog beter maken.
Guter Startpunkt für Radtouren rund um den Lago Maggiore.
Kommunikation unkompliziert über WhatsApp.
Geräumige und saubere Wohnung mit wunderschönem Blick über Lago.
Etwas wenig Küchenausrüstung (zum Beispiel kein Schneidebrett oder Müslischüssel …).
WLAN nur gegen Aufpreis von 5 Franken am Tag nicht zeitgemäß.
Ganz tolle Wohnung - super Lage. Einziger Wermutstropfen war der Zug, der nachts häufiger unterwegs war.
Wir können die Wohnung trotzdem weiterempfehlen.

Wohnung sehr schön und sauber, Service nicht ok
Fernseher, Wlan wurden laut Beschreibung versprochen, funktionierten aber nicht. Auf dem CheckIn Blatt standen drei Nummern, die laut Angaben jeder Zeit erreichbar sein sollten. Wir wurden erst nach drei Tagen via SMS zurück kontaktiert. Die Antwort war verständnislos und keine Hilfe. Des weiteren war die Küche schlecht ausgestattet (nicht mal ein Nudelsieb!) und mehrere Geräte auch defekt. Die Wohnung ist aber sehr schön, vor allem sauber und die Lage gut. Sehr laute Nachbarn! Aber das steht auch in der Beschreibung.
