Google Maps didn't give the best directions, but Stefano greeted us on the sidewalk. This is a large apartment overlooking a piazza and situated above a cafe, and it's only a few blocks from the train station. It's a beautiful place, although a little bit noisy due to it's location. We wear earplugs at night, so it wasn't an issue for us. Stefano has a notebook with tons of information about sightseeing, restaurants, etc., so that was helpful. We used this as our home base while visiting the Cinque Terre, but La Spezia is a nice small town, too. Overall, we were pleased with this VRBO and our host.
