We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Spezia. The location was excellent with easy access to the railway station and coastline. Our hosts were very understanding as our trains were constantly running late and were there to greet us and explain the city to us.Thank you, we had a marvellous time.

Hosts were very friendly and gave a wonderful overview of the town and possible activities.The apartment was very clean and comfortable and in a central and quiet location. I highly recommend!

The hosts -- husband and wife -- met us in the square near the apartment. We thought we might be lost, but there they were! I have never had a greeting that friendly at any VRBO property. They took us up to the apartment -- one flight of stairs (or was it two?) up from the street -- and gave us a wealth of information about La Spezia, the Cinque Terre, and another place that had not been on our list named Portovenere. The husband speaks English and French (as well as Italian of course) and strongly encouraged us to visit Portovenere. We were very glad we did. (If you decide to visit Portovenere, look for the "01" ferry line at the docks.) The apartment has two bedrooms -- we used only one -- plus a nice kitchen -- we used the refrigerator to chill water -- and a functioning bathroom. The hosts very kindly allowed us to extend checkout by 90 minutes so that we could store luggage before finding our way back to the train station. There are numerous fine (but not expensive) restaurants nearby, a choice of good cafes for morning coffee or rolls, and several good gelato places. La Spezia was one of my favorite stops on our travels across Italy. Our time at Le Nereidi made our visit that much more enjoyable.

We had to take the key with us that also worked the electricity so we couldn’t charge our computers or put anything in the fridge unless we were in the property. So we didn’t buy anything for the fridge as it turned the electric off when we left. Since there was onlyone key we had to coordinate w the other couple at all times to enter property. The photos online made the property appear much larger. The living/dining area is very small.
