Views are really nice as is the location. Being right across from the beach was a benefit as it gets booked quickly. The host was very responsive even when our son left the key inside the place, locking us out. The one challenge we had was the heat. The inside temp of the place, with the windows open, was 28 C at night. And while there were ceiling fans, they don’t help when it is that hot.

Daniela's place was great. All of the amenities we needed were available (ie. full kitchen, washing machine, microwave, iron/board). Location is right next to the train station that stops right on the beach strip of Monterosso. Daniela's husband met us at the station and walked us to their place where we also met Daniela. They proceeded to show us their home and provided some local suggestions which is always very helpful. Yes, as others mention, there many steps to get up to their place but you acclimate and it's so worth it.... because the view is just unbelievable and unbeatable! Wow, is all I can say, as concurred with my family. The very large ocean side patio gives you sights and ocean sounds that make you want to never leave. I spent every meal and moment while at their place, day or night, out there just soaking it up. But wait, there's more, lol. Monterosso is the only town of entire Cinque Terre with an actual large strip of beach and it's just down the stairs from Daniela's place. On the same strip/boarded there are many offerings (ie. restaurants, pastry shop, gelato, small grocery shop, etc.). And just a few minutes walk down the boardwalk, you will find the historic village with various offerings and charming atmosphere. You're also only a train pass away from easily exploring the rest of the Cinque Terre towns as we did, as well as visiting La Spezia. I hope you too can get the opportunity to stay at Daniela's to enjoy Monterosso as we did!

My wife and I brought our kids and stayed here for our 20th anniversary. It did not disappoint! The view was stunning and had everything we needed. Communication was easy. It was a hike to get up all the stairs but so worth it! We would definitely stay again if we can

The view at this home is beyond incredible, and the large deck has a dining space and comfortable chairs for reading and relaxing. The major fault from our end was that the 180 stairs to reach the apartment weren’t mentioned. We reached out to confirm the day before arrival and were told of the stairs. We never could have gotten our luggage up. They were able to find a young man to help, whom we paid to take them up and back down on the day we left. The home also needs updating, seemed dusty- bothered our allergies and had the smallest shower we’ve ever seen. All that being said, the location in town was wonderful, the views incredible, but the stairs were prohibitive. We went down once and up once a day. No running back out for dinner or gelato. Limited our options during our week stay.

Best location, great view! Lots of steps, not recommended for everyone.

Monterosso is lovely. View from apartment is wonderful. The 170 steps to get there (basically a 13 story walk up) is challenging and prevented friends from wanting to join on the nice deck. This is for the young and very fit.

Very beautiful view Nice, clean, spacious apartment

Family of 5. Dinner on the patio was our favorite.
