Perfect location, spectacular views, comfortable apartment
Positano is a city of steps which definitely impact your visit. There is no avoiding the steps but staying at a property that has minimal steps to navigate on a daily basis is a huge plus. Maria's apartment has the perfect combination of central location with the minimal amount of steps to navigate combined with a comfortable setting and a wonderful view. The photos are accurate.
The entrance to the apartment is on the main road that meanders through the city. There are 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment, about 40 steps or so. We are in our early 60s and the first time up the stairs was a bit of work but we quickly became used to them and soon they became an afterthought. Along the main road are restaurants, food markets, a bakery, a pharmacy and a variety of retail shops. The delicatessen that is mentioned in many of the reviews is actually well stocked with fresh produce, pastas, cheeses, wine, beer, soft drinks and water. They also sell sandwiches beginning around noon or so. Their sandwiches must be known as a go to on the tours as the store becomes very crowded with tourists lining up to buy the fresh made sandwiches. There are steps that you can take to this shop off of the main road but if you continue on the road for another 200 feet you will find a store lined walkway on the left that brings you to the entrance without any steps.
We would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others.
