Great place to stay
We stayed in Apartment 8 for 4 nights are were delighted with all aspects of it. There was plenty of room with both a sitting and dining area, a reasonable size bathroom and small but adequate kitchen with crockery, cutlery and pots, etc. The unit is close to the centre of town, the lake and the station. There are plenty of eating places nearby, a Coop supermarket and numerous other shops as well as a free book exchange near the rubbish disposal units. The unit had good wifi and the hosts, Urs and Barbara were very friendly and helpful with information. Would definitely recommend staying there if in Locarno.

Orden i sagerne.
Superhyggelig gårdhave, søde og rare værtsfolk, fint værelse med bad og køkken. ikke stort men der var lige hvad der skulle være. Ikke mange gæster fra dk. fortalte de. Hvorfor? og så var prisen vel Ok.
