Convenient room in the heart of old town. A few big stairs to a clean and basic suite. Appreciated being greeted by a host. Excellent access to beach, hikes and wonderful restaurants.

We rated the overall stay a 5* for the location and price. A few things to note-the building is old and the studio is up 2 flights of very steep stairs. The bed is a murphy bed that you have to pull down from the wall. The place is pretty basic, but except for not having a microwave, all necessities were there including a washing machine. The location is perfect for the beach and walking around the Old Town (it is not ON the beach as stated in ad) Overall, we were happy with the accommodations.

Perfect way to "live local!" Delightful host met us to show how all the appliances work: washing machine, AC, heaters, stove/oven, refrigerator. Perfectly neat and well stocked kitchen. Warm shower. Fun balcony with street view. Shades to darken windows. TV with language options. We hiked two days, shopped the once weekly street market, cooked meals on site and felt like we were part of the community--even transported back in time for a romantic experience. We would go back without hesitation!

We love Monterosso because of the wonderful beaches! Our stay is a short walk to the water!They supplied an umbrella for hot days!The one room efficiency has everything we need-the bed is comfy, the kitchen well supplied and air conditioning if we need it!At our age (76) the stairs get harder each year but we try to stay in shape so we can return the next year!
