Staying at Nico´s place was GREAT :-) The apartment is very nice, kept clean all the way and you will have everything you need for a pleasant stay. It is very very close to the city center and you can reach everything just by walking.
I was there for road biking and Nico provided me his cellar to store and lock my bike, which was very nice.
Nico is a very uncomplicated host, we had nice chats, beers and good laughs.
If you want to stay in Riva, just book Nico´s place, you won´t be disappointed.
