Recension

First off, the place was very nice, it had plenty of space and the outdoor balcony/patio area was great. The two bathrooms were a plus, and the dishwasher/washing machine were convenient. No major complaints about the place itself, the only notables are that the upstairs neighbors can be a bit loud in the mornings and you will likely want to bring your own lighter for the gas stove. The biggest issue by far was with parking, this place is advertised as having free parking but this consists of 3 spots and street parking, all of which was occupied. Many of the cars on the street had clearly not been moved in a long time, my guess is that many of the apartments are vacation homes so people park their cars for weeks and walk/use a scooter for the duration of their stay. Angelica (host/representative of the owners) was supposed to meet us when we got there but ended up being 45 minutes late, and was generally not very helpful. This resulted in me having to drive around Rapallo for an hour in heavy traffic, until I was lucky enough to find a paid lot with one space available about a 15 minute walk away. While some of this may have been due to what we later found out was a holiday weekend, I would recommend checking out the parking situation well before you arrive and hopefully saving yourself some stress.
