This Vrbo apartment was the perfect size for our family of four adults and one infant. We enjoyed the well stocked dishes, induction stove top and coffee maker although we ate out most of the time at the wonderful restaurants within walking distance. A working washing machine would have made it perfect, but are still very happy. Thank you!

Amazing if you come across this listing and read this... book it now. We tried to extend our stay but was already booked. Balcony overlooking the water and old town square along the city wall. Just a stone's throw away from the Market Procencal, I cooked dinner one night from the fresh meat and produce I bought from the market.

Review from: Airbnb
The location & view were spectacular. We loved walking out to the plaza where there were tons of restaurants & a wonderful walk/ hike to the lighthouse nearby. Our family of 4 stayed for 6 nights as part of a 3 week long trip. This was the week to do our laundry & cook a as there was a kitchen. The washing machine was broken so we weren't able to do laundry. Also, 1 of the 2 showers had mildew all over & the other plastic shower head broke off. If you're planning to cook, you may want to shop in Santa Margherita before getting to Portofino as there are only 3 very small markets with specialty items. There were no spare trash bags & 2 single-use shampoo packs. No paper towels & only 2 rolls of toilet paper so we had to buy those. Also, no dishwashing items or cleaners, no other amenities like coffee, filters, foil, etc. You must bring everything other than blankets, pillows, & shower towels. The front door stairs are VERY steep & even without luggage, were tough to navigate every time.

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.
