”Musiken” i området lördag kväll 19:30-01 var rena tortyren.

Location!!! Close to train station and restaurants. Quaint little apartment. Owner was so nice. He gave us excellent instructions. Great fan!

No ac

Location! Perfect spot day or night.

Airflow. They provide a powerful fan but with one window it can get stuffy when hot and humid.

The location is amazing. When you step out of the door you can take one step to the side to get a good view of the ocean! It also has some good restaurants close by that are amazing. Also because Rio Maggiore is the first of the 5 towns to visit here, you have a great base to return back to. We loved sitting outside on the edge of the wall next to the door with some drinks watching the sea and also eating dinner at the restaurant across the room and watching the sunset.

No real deal breakers here. Just some things that could have been better but did not ruin the stay for me. While the location is great, you don't have a direct view to the sea. The apartment can be quite hot and there is no air-conditioning. This is only a bit of an issue in the night but it was mostly fine. What I did not like was the doors to the apartment. The main door did not close properly a lot of the times and the other door was entirely made of blurred glass. Just something to keep in mind when you value your privacy because there are other people sleeping upstairs coming in and out as well. If the glass door would just be wooden or taped off that would have been better for me personally.

Locality to town was fabulous. The owner was always available to communicate for anything anytime and very accommodating for us. Excellent value for money.

It was a hot night and no aircon just a fan. There was everything for tea and coffee however no milk. Not much to complain about

It was the perfect place to stay

Nothing

The location was really good and central to everything. Beautiful view and ambience. Not too far from train or too many steps if you knew where to find apartment.

The communication could have been better about key collection and breakfast whereabouts. Perhaps collect keys from breakfast location opposite the train station entry would have been more helpful.

Great location, comfortable stay. The apartment was perfectly situated for exploring the area. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The breakfast at the nearby station was a fantastic bonus, with a great selection. The host’s instructions were clear and easy to follow. We really enjoyed our stay!

While the stay was pleasant overall, a few minor updates would elevate the experience. For example, having only one wine glass for two people felt a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the shower stall was quite small, causing the curtain to stick to you during use.

the kitchen was modern

The washing machine was broken. This was a huge problem because we had been hiking and all of our clothes were wet and muddy. The host told us to take them to the laundromat and hasn’t paid us or compensated us for the inconvenience. The place was so crowded and there are many stairs to navigate and it was like a crush trying to go up towards the train station and laundry which we had to do three times late at night when we were exhausted and wanting to get up early the next day to hike. Worst of all we had to walk through a construction site with very high scaffolding to access the flat. We took off early and stayed out till late because it scared me to go to the flat. It’s not a one bedroom apartment it is a small, dark and pokey bedsitter flat. It does not have a sea view. It has a view of buildings. The host would give me the wifi password when I complained about the washing machine so I had to active and pay for a day pass to ring the booking platform. The breakfast provide is a long walk away and when we went there it was closed so we had to pay 20 euro for breakfast, 20 euro to do a couple of loads of washing and 10 for the day pass. I spent the first day at the beach on the phone trying to find somewhere else to stay but last minute we were stuck. Photos below of the actual view and access.

The location was nice and the room was clean, the host was very helpful. The directions to get to the property were accurate and simple. Breakfast was included.

It was a little dark and didn't get much natural light, so it was a little cold when we travelled in April. The washing machine didn't work however the host paid for us to use the laundromat.
