Very comfortable apartment with a great view of the harbor. Close to the action. A lot of stairs, but not a problem as long as you don’t have a lot of luggage.

Thank you for your feedback Jeni! We are glad you enjoyed the apartment and the view. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Best regards,

We had a great time; local food was good. The three steep flights of stairs were a challenge, but we made it safely up and down. Note: Never did get the washer to spin clothes dry; no place to hang them. One hair dryer did not work.

Our team did their best to address the issue, but unfortunately, it could not be resolved during your stay.

Outstanding! Stairs in building reminded me of climbing the Duomo in Florence. Views and location though, made it worth it. This place is magic!

Apartment in 3rd floor with no elevator, so don’t take too many clothes, as the lifting of the suite case up the narrow stairs is a nightmare. Checking out at 10 am is not very convenient. Cleaning fees are astronomical.not good for staying few nights, better in a hotel when you add the added fees.
The flat smells like mold and mildew because there is mold and mildew in the bathroom! To add to the horrendous bathroom, there are rusty nails along the bathtub trim. We left after one night and chose a place around the corner. Thank God it was available. We reached out to management and called numerous times without any response back, even after being told we would be contacted. This place shouldn't even allowed to be listed.

Terrible experience. 1. No real second bedroom. All bedroom pics you see from description is actually the only bedroom. The pic of other one is in living area with only enough space for a sofa bed and no WiFi signal. Pillows are dirty, overall cleanness is horrible.

Super location, worn-out apartment
The apartment is on the 3rd floor (European counting, 4th floor if the ground floor is the first floor) and [as described] reached via a steep flight of stairs. The view is nice and the layout appropriate.Negative: There were no instructions on any appliance. We struggled with the dishwasher. Flushing the toilet did not work in one of the bathrooms (but was fixed the next day). The spoons showed significant chalk deposits (not a serious problem but still ..). Paint was peeling in one of the bathrooms. Biggest complaint is the size of the (single) bed -- suitable only for persons up to 1.80m. If you stay only 2 or 3 nights (and go out to enjoy the many restaurants) these negatives won't bother you much. And you probably don't want to spend more time in Portofino anyhow.
