"there is no A/C, super noisy between 22.00 - 24.00 on a street. Sleeping bed very inconvenient. But nice kitchen, super convenient location. To buy tickets on a boat, be online at 7.30 At 8 am it will be 200 people before you. Visit only Belagio on a speed boat and spend more time there. Como City itself super nice and need 1 day to visit min."
