We didn't get to meet Carlo but he was very helpful and quick to respond by sms. His apartment is neat and compact and ideal for a short stay. The bus stop 47 is a few metres up the road, and this connects to a few other stations which can get you around. It's abit out of town, but if you don't mind the public transport then it wont be an issue. Theres an incredible hole in the wall gelateria about 500m up the road, and on the weekend we were there we stumbled upon a massive antique market close to Port St Geneva which was very interesting.
