  : Easy check in and the host provided useful tips for the area and Cinque Terre. The apartment was serviced everyday and the shower had nice water pressure/ temperature (which has been difficult to find in Italy). We liked that there was a roller door shutter on the outside patio that we could put down every night or when we left the apartment to help us feel more secure and to block out light.
  : As the apartment is on ground floor, it adjoins onto a very busy road and we found the street noise outside very loud (especially early in the morning). The walls must be quite thin too as we could hear the other guests coming and going within the complex each day. It was nice having a kitchen however the range hood was broken meaning the apartment would become smokey and the cooking smells would linger for hours after cooking (even with the door open to the outside patio). The kitchen was slightly under stocked and the available utensils were a bit dirty upon arrival.

  : Great apartment, near Central train station so perfect for a short walk before heading to Cinque Terre, but also close for a walk to city and close to city bus station. Public parking available in front of the apartment but you can also reserve private parking space, which is great if you're travelling with a big bigger car.
  : Sound isolation should be better. Got woken up by people in a room next to us. Kitchen could also be cleaner.

  : Very clean (cleaned daily), good bathroom facilities.The host was very friendly and offered recommendations
  : It was quite a far walk to the centre of La Spezia (around 25 mins) and the bus services were very sporadic and difficult to understand (although this obviously isnt the fault of the accommodation) just keep in mind! Also there was a small fridge for storing water but no other kitchen facilities and when booking the pictures made it seem like there was a little kitchen.

Poor

  : Close to the train. Nice decor
  : Dirty, spiderwebs in the room even though they cleaned the room almost every day. Very bad isolation, you could hear everything going on in the hallway and exactly what people outside were saying. The cleaning in general was very bad, still dirty floor and bathroom after cleaning. Annoying to be woken up at 8:00 every morning because the staff or other guests were talking and doing stuff. Not relaxing at all. To charge over 1000 euro for this place is insane.

  : Marco who greeted us was very helpful and very informative of the local area and the best places to go.
  : Air con wasn't working which if it had been any hotter would have been uncomfortable

  : Marco was a great host, very helpful and gave great tips! The appartment was very big and pretty decorated. Train station is very close, perfect to visit cinque terre. We had a car so we also visited lerice and portovenere like Marco told us and it was beautiful! Free parking in front of the appartment or private parking for 6.
  : The fridge was very dirty and overall I feel like the appartment should be deepcleaned. It was cleaned quickly everyday during our stay, which was nice tho. We also had a big leak at the toilet/shower, but I hope they already took care of it by now!

  : Friendly and informative host. Reasonably convenient location - 15 mins walk from train station and town. Nice room, though a little small. Good shower and blackout shutters on window. No problems with access or leaving luggage on departure.
  : Bed a little slumped.
