What makes Colour Inversion special is hard to put your finger on, but that doesn’t mean it should be disregarded. Everything there is perfectly proportioned, so while it is a very small place (it can technically hold four people, but that would be a stretch), it never feels undersized. It’s also just off Corso Buenos Aires, one of the main shopping streets in the city and a lively spot in general. *You might not get an in-person check-in *The road outside is quite busy, so you might be able to hear some traffic noise from below *Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room Access to Beach Air Conditioning Board Games Buzzer / Wireless Intercom Carbon Monoxide Detector Central Heating Cleaning Products Coffee Maker Cooking Essentials Dishwasher Dryer Drying Rack DVD Library Extra Pillows and Blankets Fire Extinguisher Fireplace First Aid Kit Free Parking On Street Freezer Fridge Hair Dryer Hangers Iron Kettle Kitchen Kitch...More Details
If you're looking for a home with a view, then they don't get much more awe-inspiring than this. Right on the edge of Lake Como, this sweet apartment offers sweeping vistas across the water and a wonderfully peaceful setting. The interior is modern yet welcoming, cloaked in soothing neutral shades. The windows usher in plenty of natural light, and we loved the charming wooden ceilings.
