    Self check-in was easy and smooth. The location is good, it's easy to reach by bus from the train station (walking is also possible). The apartment is amazing, you'll find everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Ana and Federico are great hosts, they put a lot of effort and dedication to make your stay in the apartment easy. And they provided many good local tips (what to do in Lugano, where to shop, eat, transportation etc.). I can definitely recommend this place!

    Probably the best view you could ever hope for and was so easy to get to town either walking or by the bus (which was super cheap) meant that you really didn’t miss out by not staying right in the centre. Monique was a great host and recommended a lido that was a bit further out of town that was fantastic
