The highlight of this apartment is the stunning views from both rooms! It was a comfortable apartment with everything we needed for our stay. It is not fancy but it is just right and you probably will not spend much time inside while you are here!

Claudio graciously welcomed us at the train station and helped us with our bags. Just like everything in Cinque Terre, there were a lot of stairs but you should not go to this part of Italy if you do not like walking/climbing!

Riomaggiore is less touristy than Monterosso and Vernazza but it still has a healthy nightlife. There is a harbor but no real place to swim. When we went there in summer 2014, you could not hike to the neighboring town because the path was washed out in the flood but hopefully that will change soon! You can easily take the train to the other terre.
