  : Tedea Apartment is well located in Vernazza, about half way between the train station and the harbor. Its one floor above street level with a great view of the street and square below. There are wonderful restaurants nearby and small shops for basic groceries and wine. In the evening, after the day tourists have departed late afternoon, the neighborhood is charming. The locals are all very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is large with modern kitchen appliances (including washing machine!). There are two bedrooms but we used only one and kept our luggage in the other. There are also two updated bathrooms, which is quite convenient because would could both get ready for the day at the same time. Internet is quite adequate, but see other negatives below. We had more than enough space and loved the location in Vernazza. The rental office staff was very cheerful and helpful.
  : This wasnt a problem for us, but there is a steep flight of stairs from the street level to the apartment level to carry your luggage. There is no television, but we were aware of this and brought a pocket projector and bluetooth speaker so that we could stream movies and news onto a white wall. The apartment (and building as far as we could see) has NO SMOKE DETECTORS so pack and bring your own. We brought this to the attention of the property manager and they said they did not want smoke detectors and have to deal with false alarms. (!!!) Considering the shoddy, exposed wiring for the light fixtures in the stairwell and hallway, we could never entirely relax. There is a second exit to a rear street on the same level as the apartment, in case you just happen to be awake if you smell smoke. The buildings in Vernazza are old and have not been Disney-fide. Thats part of the charm, but this was the first lodging weve stayed, in over 110 countries so far, that didnt have even batter-powered smoke detectors. If you pack your own, it will only detect smoke inside the unit and will not alert you to a problem elsewhere in the building.Housekeeping is not included, and if you are on an extended stay and need a refresher, the rate for additional service on a daily seemed quite high. It might be cheaper for you to buy new towels than ask for a clean set.This is not a negative about Tedea Apartment, but be aware Vernazza is not easily accessible by motor vehicle. Its strictly controlled. Forget bringing your own car. If you come by taxi or limo company, make sure that they have a license to deliver you to Vernazzas small parking area in the village. Otherwise you will be walking more than 1k downhill when you arrive and then back up when you leave. (Allow at least one hour if you are walking uphill with wheeled luggage.

  : Only issue was that the AC could have been a bit stronger.

  : great apartment that was spotless and comfortable. Vernazza is great home base and management office is right across the street. Detailed and professional check in.
  : only suggestion is to provide written directions in English ( & other languages) for the clothes washing machine.

  : Charged a bit more than expected but a great location. Lots of space! Easy trains to the other towns in Cinque Terre.
  : Pillow options would help, they were quite hard.
