The apartment bedroom is spacious, very clean, the bed very good with supporting pillows. Additional covers in the wardrobe and it did get warm during the night. There is a little table if you wish to eat there alone or use the one in the living area. The balcony is very clean no lingering smell of cigarettes, I don't smoke and it was quite nice to be on it. The view from it is of the road, businesses and other blocks of apartments but you are not on top of each other. There are shops around and lidl is not far away. Opposite of the entrance is the lake, just a few yards walk away and your there. You can walk on the shore and footpath created for walking to have a constant view of the lake, amazing. You have to walk on the road a little but it is designed for pedestrians to get around to the main footpath, well worth the walk. There is a fitness building quite close by, you'll pass it as you go walking into Arona on the main road or the walk around the lake. Also some free equipment to use on the walk way, sit up bench and pedal bike but you sit facing the lake. As you walk around the views get better, there are ferry trips and there is the quite imposing La Rocca "The Castle" is free to walk around. Silvanna is very helpful and informing what's around, offered to meet me at driveway entrance if I gotten the bus as planned. very nice, clean with a variety of shops, cafes eateries and property places to chose from some quite expensive. There is a walk you can take showing all their boutiques they have, expensive, luxury goods. I did find a shop selling jumpers, scarves, gloves and other clothing. Very good quality, my hat cost €6 or so. Keeps my head quite warm and very nice look. I found most older Italians will say Buongiorno, it was a pleasure to return it. Made me more relaxed and welcomed to the area. Free WiFi. No TV.

I found I don't like sharing the accommodation but being it was my first abroad trip and on a budget, I felt a bit more comfortable than being in a hotel. You can hear the other residents talking loudly, heels on tiled floor from above, at times. Hear passing traffic and train. The breakfast was cakes, I prefer cereal so bought some from Lidl not far. Another meal I expected chicken breast with vegetables, i got chicken nuggets with carrots and broccoli but they were quite good, plenty so not complain. I just needed to clarify more what I expected. The last meal not taste as good as I thought it would be but ate it as long journey the next day and I did pay for it.

Great location, bus stop is just 20m. Fully furnished, easy to communicate with the owner.

Minor problems - one ceiling light not working, missing soap in the bathroom.

Very kind and nice owner. She was looking after us in every detail.

In the time of visiting the weather was rainy
