Nice, clean, very good AC. It was the perfect place to stay while visiting Cinque Terre with my wife and kids, 5 and 8. Nice neighbourhood with lots of restaurants and close to the city centre, the harbour and the local market. It’s definitely an option to stay when we come back without children to hike Cinque Terre, but we’ll do that off season with less tourists.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I’ve received an email from Expedia informing me where to go for the check-in. The location is NOT where the apartment is, but in a restricted area. I would have needed a permit to reach the place for the check in. Did not get any and when asked for help, the staff via WhatsApp was rude. Via WhatsApp I’ve received different information on how to access the apartment. I will receive a ticket because I went to their offices for check in!!!! Also, I’ve asked for WIFI password and the answer via WhatsApp was: we already gave it to you. What manners are these???!!?? Anyhow, be ready for bad assistance and bad A/C.

Kiana

Disliked: Staff & service
Very stressful and disappointing experience with this property. Despite the listing stating that check-in was available in person between 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM, the host contacted me via WhatsApp, asking for personal information without any prior notice or confirmation through Expedia. I asked multiple times to continue communication through Expedia's chat, but the host ignored those requests and insisted on using WhatsApp — which goes against Expedia’s own safety guidelines. Even worse, the host completely stopped responding to messages and phone calls the evening before my arrival (well within the advertised reception hours) and did not reply until late the next morning. This left me feeling unsafe and unsupported in a foreign country, and I had no choice but to book a different accommodation last minute. No traveler should be put in that position. I don’t recommend this property to anyone looking for a safe and reliable booking experience.

Very clean and comfortable. Communication via WhatsApp was quick, self check-in & check out was easy. Building is secure and in a good location near the marina and driving distance to all the sites. I was concerned after reading bad reviews online but we had no issues at all in the honeymoon suite and loved our stay.
