Apartment - Appartamento Ripa Maris

Great base in Genoa Gaia the host was amazing and helpful

Back street was a little noisy

Todo el apartamento es muy cómodo, bien equipado y con todo para una buena estancia.

Los alrededores del apartamento tienen partes feas, en las que te sientes inseguro. Falto una tostadora en la cocina.

Die Wohnung liegt sehr nahe am Hafen, was für uns wichtig war. Die für uns wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten waren gut und schnell erreichbar. Ein kleiner Supermarkt sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für frische Früchte etc. gleich um die Ecke. Die Wohnung ist neu renoviert, praktisch eingerichtet und war trotz zentraler Lage sehr ruhig.

Verwirrend war die Situation mit den Parkmöglichkeiten. Es gibt keinen eigenen Parkplatz zur Wochnung sondern man muss das öffentliche Parkhaus nützen. Dieses liegt nahe. Da wir um die Mittagszeit eintraffen, mussten wir beim Parkhaus warten, bis ein Platz frei wurde. Diese Situation trifft wahrscheinlich für die allermeisten Wohnungen und Hotels im Stadtzentrum zu, da die Gassen zu eng für Autos sind.

The property is indeed clean, spacious, and stylishly renovated, these are minimum expectations and aline with the listing we agree with the other reviews about this property being modern clean new air con lovely flooring. It is close to a supermarket and restaurants and coffee shops

Unfortunately, our experience fell short on multiple levels, and we feel other travelers should know what to expect. Location Concerns: The property’s central location near the port and transport links is good, but the immediate surroundings felt unsavoury and unsafe, especially at night. As two female travelers, we were unsettled after accidentally wandering into an alley just yards from the property frequented by prostitutes during the day. The area had a noticeable presence of unsavoury individuals, and one night we were disturbed by a loud fight involving two men attacking each other with a weapon and dogs barking in the street below, which felt unsafe and disruptive. Travellers should be aware this location may not be suitable for lone female travellers families with children or anyone returning to the property late at night. I want to emphasise we have stayed in Genoa before and this is not indicative of the whole area just the area around this particular apartment perhaps due to its closeness to the port area. Lack of Warmth and Amenities: Unlike previous Italian stays where hosts welcomed us with thoughtful touches, this property felt cold and impersonal. Managed by an agency, there was no greeting or contact from the host upon arrival or during our stay. The apartment was bare, lacking any local information, restaurant recommendations, or basic welcoming gestures like a bottle of water. The kitchen had only the bare essentials—no coffee machine, toaster, or extras like milk, or biscuits for our arrival this is what I've personally experienced in other properties often left by hosts as a welcome gesture. Only one tea towel was provided for the entire stay, which was insufficient. Subpar Linens and Furnishings: The towels were rough, thin, bleach-stained, had holes and mismatched—more suited for cleaning than personal use. We received just two hand towels and two small bath towels each for five days, inadequate for the price.
