The location of the apartment was excellent, but there were several aspects of the stay that were more challenging than expected. The apartment was fairly sparsely furnished, with not much seating or space to relax besides the sofa bed. The terrace also appeared neglected, with many dead plants rather than the inviting outdoor space shown in the listing.The apartment itself felt somewhat cluttered, as cleaning supplies such as the broom and other items were stored openly in the dining area due to a lack of storage space. We also were never able to get the WiFi working despite multiple attempts to reset the router and re-enter the password.Check-in communication added unnecessary stress to our arrival. I did not receive the check-in instructions until I reached out the day of arrival, and then had to complete passport information before access details were shared. I would also strongly recommend future guests proactively ask for the city elevator pass, as this was not communicated to us either. Otherwise, be prepared for a large number of steep stairs.Overall, the location was the strongest aspect of the stay.

This property is ok for the value but a few things made it feel like it did not match the photos. It’s a very beautiful old building of course given the location in Riomaggiore and there is charm in that however it should have been mentioned that the access could be difficult for some people, I would not have been able to get my luggage to the top story if I was not really strong, it’s got some charm, beautiful views, very very small bathroom. Host was accessible and available for questions.
