This was the most amazing rental we had for almost 3 weeks in Italy! Starting with Giacomo's communication even before our arrival. He was prompt and clear and informative. He followed our train status prior to our arrival. His wife, Simona, and daughter met us at the train station with a sign and a smile. They walked us 5-10 minutes to our apartment showing us restaurants and stores along the way. They had a fresh fruit basket with pasta, cookies and limoncello, made from his father's own lemon trees, waiting for us for our wedding anniversary. The apartment was newly remodeled and SPOTLESS. They gave us time schedules for boats and local train and tips on restaurants. The apartment itself is beautiful and bright with bright colors and large airy windows. The beds are comfortable with clean white linens. Master bed is a king size. Sofa sleeper is double size. There are large cubpboards to store your travel things in the bedroom. Nicely furnished and decorated. The floors were fabulous. The bathroom was large and tastefully finished. Hand held shower in the very large tub. We had NO problems with a/c, hot water, or plumbing. Giacomo's apartment is in the building, so easy access if you need help, but we never needed anything. The kitchen was very well equipped and functional and CLEAN and bright. We easily made meals. They have a WASHER!!!! It was on a quiet street with trees. 15-20 minute walk to the marina for the boat ride along Cinque Terre which is a must, and the most amazing way to see the area. Incredible views and photo ops of the little towns from the ocean and you can stop at 4 out of 5 coming and going and get back on the boat at any time during their operational hours. We took the train home after dark. (The little commuter train is in tunnels most of the time.) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental apartment. I wish we could have taken it with us all over Italy! Thank you Giacomo and Simona for making our stay at The Lemon House so comfortable, restful and welcoming.
