The apartment is exactly as advertised. It was perfect for our needs, a one-night stay, on our way to Cinque Terra. It was a 10 minute bus ride to the train stationand the bus stop was right outside the apartment. Paolo was a wonderful host. Even though his advertised check-in was 16:00, our plane was scheduled to arrive after 10 PM. He agreed to let us check-in late. As it happened, we did not arrive at the apartment until about 1:00 AM. They waited for us and were very gracious about our late arrival. Everything was ready when we got there and they still took time to explain everything to us. The apartment is small and we would not recommend it for more than a couple and it probably is not ideal for an extended stay. For our purposes it was fine. A short bus ride brings you to the main train station, which then puts you within walking distance of all the major sites, no more than 20 minutes
to any popular site.The only concern is that the bed is in a loft with a low ceiling, so you have to be careful getting out of the bed. Paolo and his wife are lovely and for a short stay for 1 or 2 people, this is a fine choice.
