We had a really great time at Ciro's house! It is exactly as depicted in the photos, with many memorabilia from Ciro's journeys, and even a small aquarium. It has two flights of stairs and no elevator (very common in Naples) but the inside is renovated and super clean. It is more than comfortable for a couple and there is also a sound system where one could plug an mp3 and listen to one's favorite music :). A mocca, a cappuccino maker and of course coffee but also yogurts, several snacks and even a bottle of wine awaited for us. Many toiletries too.
Ciro in all is a great host, always ready to answer and fun to be around! We arrived much earlier than the check-in time but the host told us that we were welcome to drop off our luggage and take advantage of this extra time to see the city until the house would be ready for us. One thing I found particularly nice of him was the fact that there was a change of sheets and towels mid-week (we stayed for 7 nights). He informed us that the cleaning lady would arrive and we arranged the time the most convenient for us.
The truth is that the neighbourhood is not the fanciest in Naples but it is very lively in the morning time (there is a great market with fish and other fresh produce around the corner), surprisingly quiet during the night and I never felt unsafe there (except maybe for the cars and scooters roaming the streets but that's another characteristic of the city and you get used to it ;) ). Most importanty, it's close to the train station from where you can catch one of the many trains to various destinations (such as Pompei) but also the bus to the airport. It was very close to the metro and to a bus station and that was very convenient. The historic centre is equally in walking distance.
It was great to have a house in Naples and if we ever visit again the city we would surely look for Ciro's places!
