  : GORGEOUS property! The view is absolutely unbelievable, so much more than we thought it would be! Could have easily fit more than 2 people. Would stay here again!
  : There was one night the wifi went out a little but was fine by the morning!

  : We had an amazing time at Le Storie di Manarola! It was a great size, really modern and clean and had everything you could need (and more). Elisabetta had provided lots of treats and gifts, including biscuits, drinks and even two souvenir mugs.The room was dual aspect, with beautiful views over the houses in Manarola with a sunset / sunrise vista over the water, as well as views towards the ocean on the other side. We were so happy to have air conditioning too - its not very strong but it would have been stifling without it.The room was very close to the train station (10 minutes max) and while there are some stairs, these are just before you reach the property so if you do have wheeled luggage, youre only wheeling up a hill. It can be a challenge in the sun but - for the view - its not far and there are benches you can stop at on the way. Elisabettas written and visual instructions on how to reach the property from the train station are excellent and because Manarola is pretty small, you shouldnt get lost. Elisabetta was a wonderful host and while we didnt meet, she was really communicative and accommodating.Manarola was also our favourite of the five villages and a great base for hiking.
  : Not much not to like!The only negative, as others have commented, are the strength of the wifi (although might be because we were in a room further away from the router) which meant it was sometimes hard to get onto the internet.

  : Good location and clean
  : Announcement beeps from the train station were annoying.

  : The apartment is cute. It has windows with beautiful view of the sea.
  : It was quite spotless. If I have to say anything bad it would be nice to have like those cottons and ear cottons at the toilet? The little dry machine at the toilet didnt work. If I had some extra days - which unfortunately I did not - I would like to have someone to pass by and clean it.

  : Very romantic view of the sea, hills and the village from the two windows. Well decorated room, very cute. Good air conditioning. International news channel was appreciated. Nice to have plates, cuttlery and machines to make tea and coffe in the morning/evening. Happy surprise to have milk, snacks and sodas in the refrigerator included in the stay. Good and fun explanation (including pictures) to find the way to the adress. Over all good communication with Le Storie di Manarola. Well cleaned bathroom.
  : Cleaning of the room was not so good. There was still fluffy dust parts on the floor (think it came from under the bed). The tea kettle had old brown water in it with something dark and bloated floating round. It looked horrifying - like a little dead animal - thankfully it was only an old teabag. Check the kettle for old water next time because that experience the first morning made me feel a little bit sick to my stomach. The build in shower cabin leaked water on the floor, even when we tried to be careful about it. A bit vexing. Staying at the second room (at the top) the noice from the other guests opening doors, walking and talking in the hallway/staircase was heard quite well via the staircase. The sound-proofing between the guests is not that well. Not a problem if they stay in or out for a longer period of time, however on our stay the other guests kept going to their room and out quite a few times in the evening when we tried to sleep.

  : The view was incredible from both sides of the unit, could see the ocean and the seating area on the small balcony was beautiful. Location was close to train station as well as start of trails to other cities. The host left a lot of snacks and drinks for us and was readily available to communicate.
  : We had some trouble with the shower not draining the first night, the host came and unclogged it but it was a temporary fix and started to slow by the time we were leaving. Also, the outside chairs on the balcony are broken, somewhat stable but a little unnerving.
