I was traveling as a solo female for a few days prior to meeting up with friends in Naples and found this place to be perfectly safe. I was welcomed earnestly to this flat by Francesco's parents who even had a cup of coffee with me upon my arrival. They were eager to make sure I had everything I needed for my trip including a map of Naples, suggestions on what attractions I should see, and clear cut directions on how to get there. Everything you need is nearby and I was surprised at how friendly everyone was. I cooked for myself two meals a day and found the kitchen to contain everything that I needed utensil-wise. Tip: this is functional part of the city and a good place to stay if you want to feel like part of the city. For more touristy sites, including souvenirs, head south toward the bay.
