We went to Geneva for CERN and staying at Ricardo*s place is a great opportunity for it - close to the tram going to CERN directly and also the city centre is not far from his place. Perfect location to do both. Furthermore, we could store our luggage at Ricardo*s place for our tour at CERN which made it a lot easier. Ricardo and his mum are great people and we would have liked to chat a little more with them.
