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.

Steps from town center
We enjoyed our stay at The Rock House in Vernazza! The house was as advertised and communication from landlord Stephanie was excellent. We really enjoyed being on the path from Vernazza to Corniglia, and the last day, after completing our walk, sat outside to encourage the hikers that they only had a few steps left to finish! We found the bed very comfortable and the bathroom serviceable. There were facilities to help us make our morning coffee. As a couple, we were very comfortable in the space. We had no issues with internet. We only had backpacks. I think it would be difficult to access this space with large suitcases. There are steps equal to about two or three floors, and you wind through a narrow passage. It’s fun to stay in such historic surroundings, but anyone with big mobility issues should probably avoid. For reference, I'm in my 60s and have had a knee replacement but managed fine. Great location in a lovely town , especially once all the daytrippers leave at 6.

Better Than Camping!
Much has been done to make this cave a home. Bravo. The initial challenge is that it is located on top of steep uneven stairs. With heavy suitcases, it’s a long, difficult haul up 54 steep steps, 100 feet high. We practically choked on chemicals used to treat the room. Our eyes watered. I started wheezing. We had to open the windows and doors to clear out the awful smell. In the process, the cold room became freezing cold, in the high 30s F. No heat. We tried to reach the owners but the WI-FI didn’t work. I called them long distance on my phone, and after their children were in bed they called back and sent out two people to fix the problems. Unfortunately, the property does not have heat. They brought an old plug in heater that overnight raised the temperature about 10 degrees. By the third night it was comfortably chilly. The written code for the WI-FI was wrong. It worked briefly after the service call, but then it stopped again, even when we held our phones up by the kitchen window as suggested. Our own 2G cell service worked very slowly. Pluses for this property: a small fridge, a toilet, a microwave, an electric teapot, a hot shower, good water pressure and a comfortable bed. It’s much more comfortable than camping. Other issues: a secondary front door that should never be locked, few electrical outlets, a small leak in the ceiling over the bed, written instructions to place trash outside but no place to put it and micro-thin bag liners.
