The location and view from the balcony were perfect. The apartment has lots of storage and a comfortable bed. The kitchen and bathroom were adequate but small. We appreciated having the washing machine for clothes but it is difficult to access in a small, dark alcove in the bathroom with minimal head clearance and no lighting to be able to see what you are doing. We communicated several times with the host and he was responsive and helpful. Most of the things we reached out about were in a welcome book that was helpful once we found it in a drawer. It is needed to determine how to operate the air conditioning, which worked well once we figured out how it worked. There is water damage over the door to the balcony that drops plaster daily on to the dining table and the door to the balcony does not lock securely. The handle to that door repeatedly fell off when trying to close or open it. The apartment was a nice home base for our 3 nights in Vernazza, which is a very charming village. It is a dusty, sandy area so is tough to keep clean, but there were cupboards for clothing storage that had quite a bit of accumulated dust. The apartment could do with some maintenance and a deep cleaning. Despite these minor inconveniences, the location and view were spectacular. The instructions for getting to the property were helpful and easy to follow. Not at all accessible for anyone who cannot climb lots of very steep steps up and down every day.

Beautiful, private location with great view of the sea. The room was just right - great romantic getaway.

We loved every! The location, the view, we could not have been happier with everything

We loved how quiet this rental was despite being located close to the main walkway in Vernazza (be prepared for a lot of steps). The balcony was a great place to relax. We also enjoyed that hiking poles were provided. Our main concern was that we didn’t feel the apartment was as clean as it could have been; the shower walls were mildewy and the drain in the shower didn’t function well. Despite this we had a great stay.

Spent two magical days in Vernazza at Marcello's place. The check in was simple and easy to understand and communication with the host was immediate. The space was clean, modern and perfect for 2 people. The terrace overlooked the sea and loved the morning and evenings soaking in the beautiful views. We had heavy rain during our stay and was delighted to find all the rain gear we needed provided! I would highly recommend Marcello's place and we are looking forward to staying again on our next trip to Vernazza!

We loved the place! The views were incredible and we would happily come back. Very quiet and private :)

Everything was as pictured…response was great. The view was ridiculously amazing!! So private so lovely! The stairs were part of the experience. Would be difficult for anyone who was physically compromised but it is part of all the Cinque Terre. I found the stairs part of the ambience! I absolutely LOVED this place!!

Was as described. Easy to find with images owner sent. Happy with decision.
