Beautiful Stay - Helpful Hosts
First - Be prepared for a lot of steps, both up and down. That's the price of entry for renting this wonderfully-located house.
Second - The hosts were extremely helpful with our check-in process. We had issues with the trains, and arrived about an hour late. The hosts were patient and waited for us, and even picked us up at the train station to avoid having us walk up the steps with our luggage (we walked down instead form the top).
On to the house itself, it is situation on a hillside filled with vineyards and lemon trees. The only sounds are from the train station below and people walking on the steps, but otherwise it is a nice remote and private setting. There is plenty of room inside, and the front porch offers a wonderful view of the sea and the town of Manarola to the south. On chilly nights we warmed up with the pellet stove and some locally-purchased wine (two small shops up in town were good sources of wine and food).
We recommend packing light to make the trip to and from the house a bit easier, but nevertheless the stay is well worth it.
