This is the way to the flat and there is a lot of steps, but

Okay, so we have arrived and this is our home for the next three nights.

I'll leave all the information about the apartment and how much we paid and everything below.

Or I'll put the price on the screen actually, as I go around.

So let's get started with the tour, guys.

I could not have been happier with this apartment.

I think it might be one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in.

It had absolutely everything you could need for a comfortable stay and it felt.

Felt like people had lived in it previously.

There was so many interesting bits to look at.

Obviously the view and the balcony was the star of the show, but I'll show you that last.

It only took us around 10 minutes to walk here from the train station, which we thought was pretty good.

It is all uphill, but to be expected when you've got this view.

I have got a thing for smeg fridges, so I was very happy to see this pastel blue smeg Meg fridge.

The TV was smart, so you could watch Netflix or any other apps that you needed.

They had this massive gas hob which had like, I think like six rings on it and every sort of, like, kitchen equipment that you could need, really.

There was also an espresso coffee machine, which Josh really enjoyed, and a dishwasher with tablets.

The apartment came with loads of local information, like restaurants to go to and information about the wider area, which we found really useful.

there were so many nice, interesting bits that I wanted to capture them all.

The apartment was two bedrooms, which was really good and they were both double and comfortable.

And this one featured a massive red bean bag, which was a big win in my eyes.

I also hate being in rooms where you can't get them dark, but

they had shutters that made it really dark in the evening, which I liked.

I actually thought that 88 pound per night for this level of quality and the fact that we're in Lake Como, I thought it was really good.

Probably one of the best showers I've ever had.

The water pressure was amazing and it was really spacious.

It was one of those ones that you just didn't want to get out of.

And we don't have a bath at home, so we were very excited to be able to take a bath here.

So this property is actually listed on booking.com but we found it was a lot more expensive there.

And if you go to my home in Como, it's listed on there and those are the people that actually run it and look after the property.

The prices were much cheaper because you pay in euros, so you definitely save a lot of money booking direct.

So that's a little tip if you want to stay here.

Also, just thought I'd mention that check in was really easy.

There was just a lockbox and we just got the key with a code and we're just able to come straight in.

So I always find that easier without having to wait around for someone.

So this was the en suite bathroom, which we didn't really end up using because the main bathroom was a lot nicer.

But if you had four people staying here, you could definitely have a bathroom each and feel comfortable.

And then coming out to the balcony, star of the show, this view was what we were greeted with.

We were so lucky that when we arrived it was really sunny.

The sun comes around in the afternoon and it's lovely on the balcony.

It gets really warm, actually, considering it was winter, we really liked that.

We were high up, but not so high up that you didn't feel part of the lake.

So this is the first thing we're eating in Italy and it's actually something we put together ourselves.

So when we got here by train, we were starving.

So we went in the shop, obviously picked up wine and then we got this lovely fresh bread then.

That's just a tub of hummus and some chopped up apple because we want some fruit in the Mediterranean.

So you've gotta have olives, haven't you?

And then a plate of Parma ham and some brie and then some cashew nuts.

And like, considering we were tired from traveling.

And then look, I love all the plates that they've got here.

The plates and the bowls, like, they're all like different and mismatch.

This was my first Aperol spritz in Italy and it was so balanced, very well made.

And I loved the snacks that came with it as well.

I think we got a bit carried away with the drinks because we were in a new place.

We just kept going around drinking Everywhere.

And I thought it would be a really good idea at this point to go and ask the bartender if she could make us her favorite drink.

No idea what it was, but it turned out to be very strong.

And then things just went a little bit south from there.

I've actually done a very drunk, very brutal taste test of Italian McDonald's, which should be going up on YouTube shorts.

Oh, It's always lovely to cook on gas, isn't it?

That egg yolk looks so golden, doesn't it?

Let's do a little taste test of some Italian chocolate.

So when me and Josh arrived, we went into the local shop and they had a lot of this brand Novi.

So this one is a milk chocolate with hazelnut.

It seemed like something that people would probably eat a lot out here.

I think Norvi might be their equivalent of like, Cadbury's.
