    Great room, near Cinque Terre!

    The only negative thing about the room is that it's slightly uncomfortable to go out every time to use the shared bathroom. Also, the building is not very easy to access if you're travelling by bike.

    The room was really clean and tidy, with a nice view at the church and the city. The shared bathroom was also really clean and big. The location of the flat is great, very close to shops and the city center.

    No fridge (how to survive in a hot country) or a small kitchenette, no chairs on the balcony, nothing to dry towels or swimming costumes.

    Everything there is ok, location, room, bathroom- everything is clean. Perfect choice if you explore Cinque Terre or Portofino. Good contact and clear instructions from the owner. Big balcony with great view.

    Extremely difficult physical access: many stairs up and down, tight elevator, and no guidance from the host about alternative outside lift. Layout feels like repurposed school corridor with closed-off cabinet-style rooms. Kitchen setup is awkward: tea kettle must be used on the microwave due to outlet placement, making it hard to use the table. Advertised for 7 people, but setup is not adequate — too few seats, tight space. Shower spills water through the doors. Poor host communication: no instructions for hot water switch, gate exit button, or parking. Observed other guests getting locked in garden due to unclear gate mechanism. Parking unclear and inconvenient; hosts provide vague or contradictory info. Host ignored messages but became responsive only when asking for cash payment for taxes — questionable practice.

    Apartment is relatively close to the city center, once you descend the hill. Plenty of space inside, though not efficiently used. Shower works fine (with some caveats). Kitchen includes a refrigerator and one functional knife.

    The bathroom window did not have a curtain or anything covering it from the outside view.

    The size of the property and the number of rooms is perfect for a big family. Despite not having a balcony, our view was unreal.

    very loud tv in the evenings from neighbour above our room, balcony doors hard to open, impossible to have shower without flooding the floor, no tea spoons for mugs, towels left fluff on body and floor...

    balcony with nice view, big windowed balcony doors, central location, the tiny lift (luckily we only had small backpacks), well organised entry procedure, large and comfortable bed...

    The lonely critical point is the very thin wall close to the apartment, you will hear anything, if there is a group or a family. But after midnight useally it was quiet.

    Beautiful room. Views on the park and the church. The city center and the train station are very near. Very clean and nice designed.

    Unfortunately that didnt compense the other. Theres only 1 bathroom shared between 3 rooms and each room con have up to 3 guests, soo it can get crowded. Also is to pricey for not having a kitchen, not even a small one just a kettle that sincerly is not enough. There’s no staff, literally no one, is all through the phone wich i found quite inconvenient and a little annoying. I like a little contact with someone, makes your stay more pleasant. They also tried to charge me more for the city tax, but it was a misunderstanding. Read the small things before booking but at least they respond pretty fast and are in the disposition to resolve any issue.

    The location is really good, 10 minute walk to the train station perfect for everything, only mind that the trains for Cinque Terre drop to 1 per hour after peak hours. Also walking distance from the Castello San Giorgo wich has an incredible view. For some reason i had the whole room for myself soo it was awesome. Really comfy bed and AC. For the price is way more cheaper than staying in the towns and you will not loose time soo for that is perfect.

    Some of the outside shutters did not work properly. We were six people and we knew there was only one bathroom in the apartement. To us, we would have appriciated another bathroom.

    To us, this apartement was spacious and bright. We found the inside elevator really interessting, due to its old design. The kitchen was equipped with what we found necessery. We really liked that the apartement was located near the main street with all shops and restaurants. We loved La Spezia!

    No AC so with 34 C outside we were not able to sleep, too hot and humid. Had to get up and shower at 5 am. The little fan they have in the room is not enough unfortunately.

    Location is really good

    We missed the opportunity to enjoy the view from the balcony as the balcony doors were not opening and the blinds were not moving. Overall the property was good. There was no air conditioning, so keep in mind for the hotter days.

    It was a nice place to stay, we liked it. It was near the train station and harbour and had an excellent location to get around La Spezia.

    Wasnt enough clean

    I normally never book a place in booking that has less than 8, but it was late and i was with 3 kids and I had to stay there. In the night i didnt get so good where we are but the day after i was wondering how people rate a place!? the location was perfect, close to center with perfect price. It was a bit dusty and old but in general deserved more than 7 in booking. It doesnt have parking that make it a bit uncomfortable but i think this is general problem of that city. Ps: if i was the owner, i just a but renew it, specially the pavement and ask the girls of the rooms to vlean more under the beds and so on...( then probably the price will be heigher too😉)

    Not so warmt in the bathroom. We were there in january. No parking place in the front of the building, even though there is parking space. There are many steps from the street to the building, but it could be much easier to park the car in front of the terasse, and put the luggedge there.

    Very nice, big appartment with lot of space and light. Perfect place in the city, 10 minuttes from train station to Cinque Terre towns. Better than shown on the pictures on booking.

    Not really complaints but hints: You cannot park immediatly at the house (or only with fees). We dropped our bags of and parked for free at the Piazza d'Armi, approx. 20 mins walking from the appartement. There is only one bathroom (toilet included) that you share with 3 rooms total. But we personally never had Problems with occupied bathroom.

    We loved our stay! The price-performance-ratio is incredible (we went in end of October)! You receive the door codes and a lot of other helpful Information upon arrival per message and can enter super easily by self-checkin (Gate is halfway down the stairs). We spontaneously stayed one night longer and simply communicated it by whatsapp and it worked out perfectly. We had an amazing room with huge balcony and a beautiful view on the city. Also the location is great, as you just need to walk down some stairs and you are in a pedestrian zone with various Bars and Restaurants. Approx. 10-15 mins to the trainstation.

    We have never regretted choosing this apartment! 👌🏻While some of the comments are terrifying... Who should care about unpainted doors when this apartment had such a view? The apartments are south facing, so you can sunbathe directly on the balcony, and what a view... We would love to come back here!

    - the info About self checkin came in italian. i had to contact the owners by whatsapp for the translation so that i can understand it well. but then they responded promptly. thou they never responded to the message About leaving money (for city tax) on the table in the room the day of check out - so i just wonder if they received them. - the walls of the rooms are incredible thin, which means as we were Staying in the monterosso room we could hear every single word of the people accommodated in the bay window (each night they were having párty and we couldnt sleep at all). as the Windows are old (it is an old building) we can hear all the noise from the street. - the bed is not the most comfortable one. - they could provide at least the very little (1x1meter) fridge in the room. it would be very pleasant (just a recco).

    it has very good location, 12 minutes walk from the train station which is very pleasant as in Cinque Terre in general the trains are used very often. it is also very close to the main road & city center with loads of bars and restaurants. i liked the view from the room to the Church and the town itself.
