Laura is an excellent host, friendly, helpful and informative and speaks good English. The property has stunning views of lakes and mountains from inside and the balcony. It is mostly nicely decorated and well equipped. There is occasional noise from trains and other apartments, but this wasn't a problem. The property location on the Vrbo map is not correct, Stresa is a moderately strenuous 1.5 mile walk along a hilly, partly rough path. A blackout blind on the front door would be useful.
