Good for one night

Cleanliness is sometimes a bit limited.

It might get better

Overpriced for what it offers. We had to wait a bit for him to come to open the door for us (even warning).

Doesn't live up to expectations

The worst thing is to spend three days in a room WITHOUT WIFI. It is unthinkable that she lives in this house and she does not have the Internet, today travelers need it. Marina says she indicates when booking, but she just doesn't indicate what is, it's better to warn him. On the other hand, the house is in a building with a somewhat claustrophobic elevator and the whole apartment smells of tobacco and you can hear cars outside in the morning as if they were inside the room. The bathroom was not particularly clean and we didn't have access to the kitchen. Conclusion: You have the bad things about living in someone's house (not seclusion and living in the same house), but not all the good things (you can't refrigerate, cook, or surf the Internet). Breakfast is an industrial pastry. At the current price, it does not live up to expectations. Also, Marina is anti-vaccination and doesn't want to get vaccinated against Covid, which doesn't seem very logical when you have people going through her every day.

Terrible place.

Decadent stable. Dirty plumbing and dishes. The smell of nauseating smoke in the house. The owner's behavior is suspicious.

Very central room in the apartment of a lovely hostess

- the breakfast is really very small, only sweet pastries (biscuits) with delicious coffee and orange juice - The bathroom, unfortunately, was not that clean, towels, unfortunately, were not changed during the 5 days of stay.

A very nice place.

The bed was uncomfortable, using the keys was a bit difficult and the breakfast was too sweet.

Good decision

Unfortunately the common areas and the room were very dirty. Dust and hair everywhere. The sheets smelled bad

I do not recommend it

The room is located on the 7th floor, the elevator is very small and old, bulky luggage does not fit. The street looks somewhat unsafe at night. The breakfast on the first day was good (yogurt, cereal, milk, bread, juice, etc.) however on the second day it was not ready at the indicated time, we had to wait. We don't communicate much with the owner, but he is a little confused with time and information. The check was terrible, we had to take the train and at the last second the hostess told us that she was confused and that the tourist tax was 10 euros, not 5 (she had already made us a receipt for 5 euros). We told her that we didn't have 5 euros more (she doesn't accept cards only in cash) that she told us 5 and that we need to take the train. However he stopped at the door (we couldn't get through it) and told us it was not his problem, I tried to explain and all of a sudden (because we were already speaking English on check in day) all of a sudden I He said he didn't understand English. In any case, since we couldn't leave the house, we had to search all pockets, wallet, backpack and add 5 euros in 20 and 10 cent coins to be able to walk, in the end we could only add 3 euros. Terrible and super-everyday!

Nice place to be in La Spezia and be able to visit the Cinque Terre.

Although the room was big, we didn't have space to back up our clothes, it has a lot of wardrobes, but everything was occupied, there were only 2 hangers on the hanger, it was cold and he told us that the heating was not working, we stayed for 2 the nights I spent Cold if the house is cold, as for the bathroom, the baskets full of rubbish a few days ago is the only negative.
