Our stay at La Spezia was very nice. Property was close to water taxis, port area and plenty of dining choices including grocery. Bus stop was 50 meters away. Train station was definitely a cab ride with bags but it was only 11 Euro. A/C worked well, unit was spacious and host was courteous. I would recommend.
The apartment is clean and very nice. The air conditioning worked very well. It was about 1/5 mile walk to the train station to go to Cinque Terre. We used it as our home base. La Spezia has a lot to offer too. It was wonderful restaurants and shops but it has a city feel. Our host was excellent as well. He was always available and very kind and helpful. I would certainly reccomend it!
