3 adults stayed comfortably in this super clean, modernised apartment. The layout was great, with a small outside balcony which was very useful for drying laundry and just sitting outside in the morning. The kitchen is lovely and the bathroom works well, with a shower/WC that can be closed off to the handbasin. So you can shave/brush your teeth whilst another person showers. Washing machine worked well, as did the aircon. The apartment is in a lovely part of Manarola village, with a short walk to the beaches, and terrific eating/bar options. It is up 2 steep flights of stairs, so the street noise/activity is minimised. Lorenzo was helpful and we really appreciated his help with getting our luggage upstairs. He arrived quickly to give us the keys, and do admin stuff, so no waiting around to get into the apartment. Manarola is a charming and fun town to stay in - we walked from here to Corniglia, and trained back. Start early to beat the heat. It is a challenging walk, but well worth the effort. The boats to the other towns very easy to catch and use. The seafood is really good here. Loved the restaurant, which is last restaurant walking up to Cinque Terre walk.

I loved the apartment, so the following comments are made to be helpful, as I aim to be factual in my reviews. eg.The steepness of the stairs cannot be changed, but can be mitigated with some help with the luggage - as Lorenzo did. The one bedroom has a very comfortable double bed. The other 2x beds are a sofa bed (with closed ends)with a trundle pullout with a mattress. This would not be very comfortable for tall people -we were fine! The stairs - there are a lot, and they are steep. However, the upside is you are further away from the street noises, which quietened down before midnight, and is a part of what I love to experience in a cute town like Monterosso.

1.the WIFI was not strong 2.the water in the bathroom did not go down imidiatlyl

Excellent location and very comfortable

Nothing

Beautiful and spacious apartment in the centre of Monterosso Old Town. Everything you could want for a trip to Cinqueterre. The host met us on arrival and gave us great advice for our stay. Fully equipped kitchen and a lovely balcony to enjoy a drink before dinner. It's a very short walk from the train station and right beside the best restaurants in Monterosso. The air-conditioning was really good. Couldn't recommend this place enough

Everything was fantastic

The facility was excellent with everything needed for a stay. The balcony was a great place for a glass of wine and to watch life go by. The apartment has the best location in Monterosso on a small square that is constantly photographed. Just watching out the windows is fun. Good restaurants abound and a good small grocery is just outside the door. Parking and access is easy. Parking is a little steep 25 euro in the parking garage but once you see where you are staying and the limited access for cars it is understandable. If you are traveling by car and want to stay in the 5 villages this place can’t be beat. The feel of staying in Monterosso versus Levanto where most car travelers stay is 10 times better, having done both. The owner is fantastically helpful. This is the place to stay for 4 in Monterosso.

The apartment is spacious and well designed in a cool beach theme. Everything you need is included, such as a complete kitchen and a washer. Caroline who is American was very helpful on arrival as well as during our stay. The location is right in the heart of the old part of town. Very quaint, picturesque surroundings.

The main issue was the noise of the outdoor cafes in the piazza below. We were there on a Friday night. Also, the price was a little more than I would've liked but I booked a little late.
