La Grotta

Location was perfect. It was clean and roomy. Kitchen was complete including coffee and Moka Pot.

Instructions on how to use the stove. And one Moka Pot was not usable on the stovetop and we weren’t told.

Good location, close to everything in Vernazza. Hosts were responsive via WhatsApp. Good hot water in the shower.

There was a strong smell (like petrol) through the house, especially in the kitchen. Had to have windows open to reduce smell. It was noisy at all times during the day. No aircon but fans were provided.

Location is good in the heart of town, but there is noise

The “ boiler” that heated water and gave heat to apartment had a leak and we had no hot water or heat throughout our stay( it was stormy). There was a smell of gas/ petroleum throughout the apartment and we had to leave windows open and fan going while inside due to gas leak. Management was responsive to our concerns but unable to fix the gas leak. We were told by the person who came out to check the leak that it was somewhere inside the walls and impossible to fix. We asked to change units but they had no other availability in Vernazza I noticed from a previous review in August ( posted since we booked) that this appears to be an ongoing problem

The location is very good as the train station and other facilities were not far. 😃

There was no hot water. We had to take cold showers 😅
