waterfront

Location was great.

Pictures online deceive the quality of the house. Lots of trim work needed on walls, replacing the kitchen sink would be easy fix. Back splash in bathroom where counter meets wall, instead of large gap filled with silicone. All floors are slanted inward towards kitchen, makes for awkward feeling in the house. Living room/kitchen has too many hard surfaces. Reminds me of college dorm or house.

Fabulous location and very spacious. Direct access to waterfront walks with views across the bay. Easy walk into the historic centre, to the market and the major attractions. Also, easy access to buses to Portovenere and Lerici. Very good value and comfortable.

Would benefit from written instructions on internet access, heating, waste disposal, etc. We worked things out, but others might not know how.

Very well located if you like to stay close to the sea (however only harbour, no beach). Main promenade view, nice, but a bit noisy at night. Everything you may need for couple of days is available for use, the building indeed is very nice. Very good gelateria near by.

One unpleasant surprise. The facility is located in a restricted traffic zone (ZTL). It is impossible to drive there by car to unpack your luggage. The parking lots are outside the zone, so you have to walk with your stuff. Staff nice, although we had the impression that our arrival was more of an inconvenience for the person handing over the keys. Lack of patience and urging us caused us a bit of stress, and this is not what we are looking for on vacation.

Really dirty - found bed bugs

The apartment is super clean and equipped with everything one could need, and it's in a perfect location! So easy to get to everything within La Spezia and a perfect home base for touring all areas of Liguria and Tuscany. The owner is super helpful and friendly, and can assist if you need anything. Looking forward to another trip back to stay here.
