need some opinions on a bike

Hello, I was looking to get a bianchi boardwalk for a first commuter bike. Basically to go to school and back and run some errands. What I need is some opinions on the bike, and I was wondering if I am able to add a bike rake and fenders to it.

It looks like it should be able to take fenders, and from the picture on the website it seems to have eyelets for a rear rack.

I test rode it and the sparta.
Both were really nice, both can take racks and fenders, the sparta comes with a rear rack.
What type of terrain you'll be commuting over will be a big factor in which bike you get.

Basically just roads. Some broken roads but nothing like trails, etc.
