The location is very good & walkable for Riomaggiore. The communication with the host was timely and detailed. However, the entire experience is a HUGE hassle. You have to park in the garage and haul your luggage to the apt, and then up 3 flights of stairs - that is not communicated in the listing. When we arrived, dirty towels were left in bathroom. and the dishwasher drainer not working, my husband had to fix. Also, there is a rusty washing machine outside on the balcony but no dryer as the listing indicates. The host was very nice to apologize but the upkeep was not good and clean.
