Casa Beverini

Excellent location. Big apartment with facilities. Surrounded by restaurants and shops.

Washing machine was out of order.

We only had it for one day… very simple… bun, jam and crackers

Shower was moldy

For the price that you pay, you get an entire apartment to yourself in an extremely central location in La Spezia. Between the restaurants and the homey feel of the place, you feel as if you are actually a local. On top of this, you have a washer machine with a proper clothes drying line outside the windows of the kitchen and the bedrooms, as well as an extremely comfortable bed and sofa, which many times after a fun day out, we crashed on. Additionally, there were enough transportation points and tabacchis for bus tickets around for you to get to all points of this area like portovenere. 

Unfortunately, there was no AC. Granted, the apartment was spacious enough for the ceiling fans to do their job and at night it was cool enough for air to circulate, but there were some points where it was so hot that it was too uncomfortable to relax so you might as well have ditched clothing all together. Additionally, there are a lot of stairs getting up into the apartment itself, so mind your knees and your overall health because there is no elevator.  I would not recommend this place for older individuals at all, but if you’re younger definitely consider this place; the discomfort might be worth it.

Location to station and lots of nearby good restaurants

Check-in was delayed and communication to access the property was quite slow

Everything you need. Big flat right in old town. 12 min to the train station and 5 min. to the boats to Cinque Terre. Perfect.

Could benefit from a new mattress in the double room but was still comfortable. There are a few bars around so if you are a very light sleeper you might need earplugs.

The location was good and fairly close to the station.

The 40 narrow stairs to the apartment. The attitude of Marie and she asked me to contact her through email instead of phone and never answered. Checking in was the last we saw of her.

Nice and clean, about 1,5 km from the train station.

The location is brilliant, the train station is accessible on foot ( a 20 minutes walk) as well as the bus stops that take you to other nearby popular towns.There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the surroundings. The host is very responsive and attentive. We had a problem with the shower on the first day and she showed up quickly to assist us. The flat is very spacious and has pretty much everything you need for a short stay.

The water temperature at the shower is hard to regulate. You need to let the water run for a few minutes in order to get hot water otherwise is just lukewarm or even cold. The drain gets blocked easily. It is a second floor with no lift and very steep stairs so not ideal for people with mobility issues. The kitchen is quite well equipped but a microwave would have been helpful. Booking should mention that breakfast is only one day worth so if your stay is longer than that you will have to get your own.

A spacious flat, centrally located and quiet, with everything you would need for a short or long stay
