Cozy accommodation and exceptional host. Kristina went above and beyond for us to have a great stay. She accommodated for my husband's allergies, upgraded our room to a suite and helped us plan trips and activities. Really enjoyed being her guests.

Nice calm atmosphere, great rooms, clean and fully equipped. We could prepare breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, which had a selection of sweet and salty ingredients. We appreciated the free coffee machine and capsules. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice and unique place.

    I booked the apartment the same morning of my stay and everything went incredibly smoothly! The host was only a text message or phone call away and possible concerns were taken seriously and also taken care of right away! The apartment was very clean and the location is ideal (short bus ride away from the city center and the bus stop is only a 2-minutes-walk from the apartment).

    The location is good, "mid level", between the top and the lake, easy walking distance to the lake and city centre. Bus stop is right in front of the hotel, very good when arriving from main train station, just a short bus ride. Quiet location.

    Great location, close to the attractions of Lugano yet in a quiet spot. Buses right outside door, walking distance to bars and restaurants and waterfront. Beautiful streets around. Reception staff were very helpful at all times with great English skills available and ready advice about accessing attractions. But were also especially helpful in arranging an appointment for timely medical treatment. Meals were great and all staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely would stay there again! Top marks!

    Conveniently located close to supermarkets and in a quiet neighborhood, but not too far from the city center. Everything you need for a short stay to visit Lugano. Attentive and caring staff always available. Smooth check-in and check-out.

    Good breakfast and the breakfast host Katia is exceptional - her passion and hospitality is charming. The room is clean. The mattress is comfortable and supportive. It’s quiet overall - we could sometimes hear when neighbours opened or shut their doors or people upstairs pulled their chairs. But nothing too disruptive and people are generally quite respectful. The stay comes with vouchers for free public transport in the city and discount for funicular rides and museums, which is very handy.

    Very well appointed apartment, ground floor (couple of small steps to enter), felt as if newly renovated and furnished. Excellent kitchen, eating space indoors and outdoors in private courtyard. Washing machine and clothes horse, full sized fridge and freezer. spacious bathroom. In quieter part of town, but easy walk, bus to city centre. Hosts great- air-conditioning not yet installed so promptly supplied fans as weather was warming. Lots of little extras such as power plug adaptors. Great wifi.
