Seasoned Airbnbers know that Airbnb photos, descriptions and reviews do not guarantee a good fit. . Are the mattresses too soft or firm? How well does the heating and airconditioning work? Is there street or apartment noise? Is the shower a pleasure? And does the location fit my needs? If you like extra firm mattresses, Mario's may not be perfect for you. Scooters and motorcycles buzz down the narrow street all day, but modern double paned window doors muffle the sound well, The rear bedroom was very quiet. Air-conditioning cools the rooms instantly; thick plaster walls keep the apartment naturally cool. The shower temperature control is remperamental if it is competing for water running in the kitchen. The bathroom is sleek and modern, a second toilet and laundry room are a bonus. Overall, the apartment is, and feels spacious. High (14') ceilings and natural light in the bedroom enhance the spaciousness. We never cooked in the kitchen, but it looked well equipped. I can't imagine why anyone would want to cook given the choices of food all around. Which brings me to the location. Mario's apartment is well named, as it is located in the middle of the historic center, walking distance to 2 of the most famous museums and a 35 minute walk to the port. If it's really hot, a taxi stand on Toledo street is just 5 short blocks away; the metro (subway) is a 12 minute walk. But just down the street, within a 4 block radius, is a bustling neighborhood jammed street sellers: fish, vegetables, fruit, flowers, clothing and housewares. Morning cappuccino 2 blocks away at Carlos' Cola Coffee shop; late afternoon and evening pizza and pasta at fine local restaurants. I suspect many visitors were initially concerned by the short walk up up to the massive medieval front entry door followed by a flight of worn ancient stairs. (there is an elevator). But immersing yourself in a bustling, colorful and endearing Neapolitan community worth every step.
