Perfect for sleeping

Three of us stayed here for two nights. Enjoyed the good water pressure in the shower. The unit is tiny but in this area you aren’t hanging out in your room. The stairs are no problem. Don’t bring large luggage to Italy period! Close to train and town. Bed comfy. Didn’t use kitchen. Nothing to take a shower so bring your own. Easy check in/out! Great little place for what we needed. To sleep while exploring beautiful Cinque Terre!

We LOVED this property in Vernazza! It is perfect for two people. There is a couch that becomes a bed, but it would be close quarters for 4. Those with mobility issues - be aware - there are many steps from the main steet to the property, but doable. We had never rented a VRBO before so we were wondering how it would all work. But we had great communication with our host. She always responded quickly when we had a question. We only had one issue, it was the air conditioner, and the local rep, Luca, handled it immediately. Of all the Cinque Terre villages Vernazza was definitly our favorite...very welcoming!

Cozy flat 65 steps up from the central street

Pros: Very good communication with Stefania who addressed a few issues the day after we arrived. Cozy apartment for two with good proximity to town. Cons: Sewer smell coming from the bathroom that Stephania tried to address but still lingered. Sewer issues? Broken shower head that she said will be replaced. 65 steps to the flat, not a problem for us but could be an issue for others.

Good Homebase

Perfect spot for me traveling solo and wanting to hike between towns and explore the Cinque Terre! Stefania was excellent at communication and very responsive when there was an unfortunate leak in the ceiling. There are a lot of steps to climb to get here, so if you have bad knees, this is not the place for you! It is comfortable for 1-2 people but would be pretty tight with 2 more on the pullout, unless maybe they are children. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a homebase for exploring the Cinque Terre.

Location, Location, Location!

You couldn’t ask for a better location. It was an easy walk from the train station & in the heart of Vernazza. Yes, it was several steep steps to get there but you come to Cinque Terra for the hiking trails so pack light & enjoy! Our recommendation to the owner would be to have better lighting at the entry way. We arrived after dark & it would have been helpful to have additional lighting. The key require multiple rotations (similar to screwing or unscrewing a cap) in order to gain access. Once you enter the outside door, the “Rock House” is the door straight ahead at that same level, you do not go up the stairs on the left.

Love Vernazza! The Rock House is just a couple stair climbs from the centre. Away from the train- so is quiet. :-D Nice decor. We had to go out to purchase our own shampoo though- we left it for the next guest. :-) House is on the trail through town Monterosso to Corniglia- which is fun.

Nice efficiency apartment in a great location

The apartment is just as described. The number of steps to the apartment is very manageable with luggage and much better than most other options. The major hiking trail goes right up the steps by the apartment, and restaurants and town center right down the steps. The bathroom was small and functional and the bed comfortable with a small kitchenette. The only problem was that it was difficult to communicate with the host and she was not real responsive. This became a major issue when our key broke in the lock and we were locked out of the apartment at night without other lodging options. We luckily (and by total luck) found an elderly relative who happened to be related to the owner, who was very pleasant and brought us a key to save us from sleeping on a street bench. Apparently this has happened before and a spare key is stored at a restaurant in town that was closed on the night in question? None of this information was available to us. So, all in all, a nice apartment for 2 people in a great location, but host needs to be more accessible to communicate and to address issues. Further, a more substantial key needs to be provided to operate the deadbolt without breaking and leaving guests stranded without alternatives. In fairness, much of this issue results from VRBO making it difficult for hosts and guests to communicate directly.
