Lots of steep stairs
The hotel has multiple different locations, and they dont tell you that, you have to look for the address that they send you in the morning. There are lots (like 8 floors) of steep stairs that you have to climb to get to the apartment, the lights for the stairs are on a timer and go off while you climb them if you're not fast. The owners/managers are quite rude, they sent aggressive messages that they later deleted. The hot tub does not get hot, at best it is luke warm. There were ants/bugs crawling on the floor when we were there. Otherwise its a nice suite.

great place
you need to be in shape to fling the 4 floors straight up -
the room is newly renovated and in great condition-
no balcony - which we should have looked for

The room it’s self it’s nice once you find the place. It’s was difficult to find needs better directions thankfully the staff at the bar/resturant were helpful. The amount of stairs and how step the stairs were was a task to climb. The listing said o and offsite parking there is NOT on site parking one parking garage for the entire town we sat and waited over an hr for a spot to open up for 35 euro a day. Also said free bottle of wine which we did not get and there is not continental breakfast zero staff onsite it’s more like and Airbnb without a kitchen. AC worked great and overall room was nice just caught off guard from what the listing states it isn’t exactly what you’re getting.

The rental was amazing. It was clean, beautiful, and comfortable with everything one would need with a great view. It is quite a climb up to the top of the stairs that is not for the weak of heart. Directions to find and get into the rental were like a scavenger hunt but part of the fun. It is located right above a happening restaurant bar so the noise goes until 11 ish, but is also right above a happening restaurant bar so trip home is easy other than those stairs. they are serious if you are packing luggage.

Place is overpriced the name isn’t the same as google maps they contact you before check in and change the location also says it’s your fault you didn’t have a valid no but they should contact you way before not a few hrs before check in! And also my hotels.com has contact no
it is also 6 floors up and steep with no elevator so luggage is a problem.
The host of the place is just rude he is inconsiderate and confrontational we had intermittent hot water so showers were cold and the WiFi didn’t work at all even though he insisted it did! We didn’t have a balcony so had no very little views the pics online are deceiving.
Also it is in the centre of town so it’s very noisy and not soundproofed
Thought it was overpriced for the location and inconvenience of climbing up 6 floors to get to your room.

Perfect for 2
Beautiful place to stay for my girlfriend and I. Very convenient location from the train station. The bed was comfortable and the whole place was very clean. There was no mini fridge only the mini bar which could only fit one bottle of wine. Overall an excellent trip but make sure to pack lightly because the stairs are no joke.

Great location and clean property. However, getting bags up to the room was quite the experience - steps from the rail station down to the marina. Followed by 3-4 stories - the initial steps are double height which makes this especially challenging.
Other challenges - no early check in. Asked for porter service for way back - got a number but the contact said he does not work with this air bnb anymore. So we had to lug our luggage back.
But the property is impeccable and clean and the view from the terrace is really awesome and made up for these shortcomings. Breakfast was great as well.

The location was not far from the port so you close to literally everything in town. The room was outstandingly appointed and newly remodeled.

Last minute room change
Merchant informed me of a change in my reserved room at the last minute. The room was not worth what I paid for, though it was pleasant. The shower is quite nice. The Jacuzzi seems to be mostly for show.

The unit shown in the photos is not what you get. I reported this to Expedia and they have dodged it, you can only talk to virtual agents that reply in circles. They refuse to answer questions.
The owner or Expedia has entered photos inconsistent with the property. For example, we picked a unit with an indoor spa tub. We received a moldy shower with a bathroom door that was broken, a heater that could not be turned off, broken rope railings to enter the unit up 4 levels of stairs that are steeper than they are wide, terrible lighting, and far short of having kitchen equipment required make anything. The photos provided were from a different unit and the condition upon arrival was far from luxury. This unit shouldn’t be more than $100 a night.
Expedia won’t comment on if the owner or if Expedia is responsible for the incorrect images, nor have they corrected it on their site. Do not expect to get help from Expedia or ownership when the problems are reported. This listing is a scam.

Overpriced!
Place overpriced. The heating was not working and there were no blankets available. Cabinets door falling apart. The entrance to the place was a working site. Sign everywhere on how much it would cost to do anything extra.
Only positive experience is the little balcony with a spectacular view!

The view from the balcony is like a dream! The apartment was beautifully modern and well laid out. You’ll need to climb about 4 flights of steep stairs to arrive at the front door but it’s well worth it! Loved it, would stay again.

Highly recommend
Absolutely loved staying here! One of my favorite places I stayed at in Italy. It really felt so comfortable, the bed and bathroom were so nice. Loved the view of the water and town from the balcony. It was magical to wake up to the sunrise and ocean view. Perfect location. Highly recommend staying here!
