The studio was exactly as shown in the pictures. Great style with all the updates. Don’t let the fact that there is no living room space deter you; the living room space is outside on the terrace. They are not kidding this is towards the top of Manarola but it’s worth it. You don’t go to a hill town without expecting to ever go up and then back down. This is not a flaw, it gets you an amazing view. We were met at the train station, shown the way while sharing tons of information about Manarola along the way. They have prepared a book of great information of things to do, places to eat and how to run all appliances. I’d stay here in a heartbeat. They are wonderful hosts!
