Location!!!! You will feel safe here and love the area more than you know! Everything was within walking distance for my husband and I (28 years olds who are able bodied) and we were able to do and see everything without using a single taxi or bus. You must go to Sarafini's for breakfast and make sure to order your dua (2) cappuccinis from the coffee bar and your food from the bakery section. Feel at home in Maria Cristina's adorable apartment with her cute decor, clean bathroom, stylish kitchen, and very powerful (but a bit loud) AC!
The front door is a bit tricky to use, but she will hopefully show you how to use it, bring an extra towel (I recommend this for all Airbnbs in Italy) since they don't give you extras and theirs are like sandpaper. We did the Cinque Terre day hike with Walkabout Tours and got sand everywhere in the apartment so ask her where her cleaning supplies are if you don't want to be slobs like us :-) Her English is a little rough so use google translate if needed so she understands you completely, and ask about things like: extra toilet paper (just in case lol), extra pillows, where to put the bag full of trash outside, and extra dish soap. These are just personal recommendations for the next guest and not anything we had a problem with her specifically. We were just curious about those things when we were staying there. But guys.....I promise you, this place will not disappoint! Ciao Ciao Ciao!
