Great location
Superb location, in the middle of restaurants and short walk from train station. Two bathrooms in this area is a treat! Very comfortable and quite modern bathrooms. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Also a bonus was a long term public car parking available.

Charming apartment in the heart of Monterosso
Our party of 5 enjoyed our stay at Giovanna’s apartment for a 2 night stay. The apartment was sparkling clean, comfortable and we were right in the middle of the town. We could have stayed on longer. Thanks Giovanna for a great stay.

Good and Bad, In the Middle of it all
The location of this unit couldn’t be more convenient, but for that reason, it’s almost never quiet. Restaurants out the bedroom window had guests past midnight and street noise till 2am. And by 6am, vendors are rolling their carts through town and beginning to set up their shops. We had to time our arrival to meet someone to check in, which is always stressful. And we were given no specific info about where to park, etc. I think that some hosts need more guidance to properly manage the access and check in process, especially when the location has some unique access and driving rules. The big surprise is that there is no living room. We were surprised to find that this 3-bedroom unit had no common space to sit apart from the kitchen table.

Clean, great location
The location of this property is fantastic, it is also very clean. The host met us at the location for check in, but there were no other check-in instructions and spotty reception made it difficult to communicate. This is a good place to stay if you plan on being out exploring a lot, and just sleeping in your accommodation at night. The living room is too small for groups to spend time in.

Cinque Terre
Upon selecting this VRBO we contacted the host to find out about parking our car. She assured me that there was parking but once we arrived, she could not assist us to get to the parking lot. Nor did she tell us we could not drive down the street at the end of Via Roma so we could load our suitcases. It cost us 65Euro for that mistake. We found the property dirty, the washing machine so rusted and mold inside that we could not use it, the stove, cups and pans were dirty. The bathroom had towels with stains on them. We could not get the TV to work. Everything was unplugged. Other than the apartment being in a wonderful location, there is nothing good about this accommodation.

Multi generational family vacation
Overall the property was good. It was clean. Giovanna was responsive and timely. The property is in a great location to get to the hiking trail, beach and to catch a train or ferry. There are lots of restaurants and shops right outside the door. We were dropped off by car. It’s an easy 3 minute walk from the drop off. The downside to the location is the noise. Being so close to restaurants and shops brings people late in the evening and early in the morning. There are also trucks with supplies coming past the apartment early in the morning. Lastly, there is no common space to sit and relax together.

Cinque Terre is heaven
Giovanna welcomed us into her home and her community. CT is a tourist’s dream but step outside of town and take advantage of all five villages and the trails to explore them. Monterossa is the northernmost of them and a luscious locale from which to enjoy it all. And the unit we had was right in the heart of it all

A really lovely stay
A really lovely stay in a very sweet apartment right in the heart of Monterosso, within a five minute walk to the beach. It does get very loud at night due to the central location so do pack ear buds! We couldn’t get the air con working in a couple of rooms but it was there and available. Giovanna was really helpful and hospitable.

In the center of the old town action, for better and worse
The apartment is near the center of old town, surrounded by restaurants, shops (the Basil Lab!), and tourist stuff. It's an easy stroll to the beach, the train, and (especially recommended) the ferry between the Cinque Terra towns. The internal space is excellent: three bedrooms, two baths, a decently furnished kitchen, even a small washing machine (although no separate living room area). The upside of the location is also the downside. Because you're right in the middle of the old town, there's a fair amount of noise from nearby bars and restaurants into the night and from moving dumpsters and garbage clean-up in the early morning. Also, during our visit in early June 2023 several of the best-known hiking trails along the coast were closed for repairs--so that's something to check if you are headed this way. We still had a great few days exploring the little town, riding the ferries, and getting some beach and swim time.

This is a wonderful and convenient place to stay in Cinque Terre - in the historic area of Monterosso Al Mare. Amazing restaurants nearby and a convenient location if you plan to hike to Vernazza, take a sunset cruise or go to the beach. Communication with Giovanna was easy and prompt. She was generous and flexible in supporting our arrival and departure times. Would absolutely stay there again!

Great location in the heart of old town Monterosso!
We stayed in this guest house and it was a great deal for a big family. The location is excellent and there’s only one level of stairs to get to the apartment. Check in was very easy. It’s a simple apartment, but gets the job done for a great location!

We really enjoyed staying in the Italian apartment. It was in the center of all the activity (of course that means you can hear the activity). Monterossa was lovely. I would like to note that there isn't a main gathering area. Only the kitchen. It worked for us since we were out during the day and having dinner at night.

Ottima vacanza
Tutto ottimo dalla prenotazione, check-in, permanenza e check-out. Vicino a tutti i punti strategici da noi individuati. Due piccole osservazioni: Non c'è una sala, pertanto l'unico posto per rimanere insieme è la cucina che è un po stretta. L'altra cosa è che essendo la casa molto ben localizzata c'è rumore che viene dalla strada. A noi non ha dato fastidio.

Perfect location!
Giovanni was very welcoming and communication was easy. The property was fine for 3 couples; however, there is no common space except for the kitchen. The street is noisy, so I would recommend ear plugs or a noise machine.

Owner fixed issues reported by others
The comments from others about the set-up are accurate. It's 2 bedrooms with large beds, one bedroom with 2 twins, and a kitchen with small sitting area at the table. We found it comfortable for 4 plus a baby, and gathered around the table at night to talk about our day and review pictures, etc. Two concerns noted in earlier reviews have been addressed: the unit now has its own WIFI, and they also provided a 2nd key. Very responsive owner who, after a miscommunication about the age of our infant, located a bassinet in minutes. Biggest downside for us was the glass inlaid doors to the bedrooms and bathroom. Not a lot of privacy and the motion activiated light in the hall is very bright and shines through the glass into one of the bedrooms every time someone walks down the hall.

Apartment in Monterosso
We enjoyed the apartment for the most part but there are details over looked and the check in was not great. We felt like we were handed the keys and left to figure everything out. She was nice to bring back beach towels and show us where the iron was though.
