Marina was a good host, met us at the apartment and gave us good advise on local restaurants and supermarket etc. The apartment is lovely with high ceilings and is well equipped. The location is continent especially for the local railway to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We walked from the main station which is only ten minutes away, but twice pick pockets had a crack at us. You need to keep your wits about you. The area is poor and some people may not feel safe at night, but that is really a perception and if you are sensible you should be fine.
