The view is just as spectacular as shown and worth the elevator that costs 5 cents from the first, not ground, floor. A supply of more than seven coins for three days would have avoided asking bewildered shopkeepers for change. The balcony does not have a table as shown, just a disconnected washing machine. The ambience is definitely Historic District with narrow alleys, motorbikes going both ways on one-way passages, and paving stones that are slippery when wet. The location is about a mile walk from the Archeological Museum and from the first station (train seat more likely) on the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii.
There was police activity one night about 7pm, six police cars or motorcycles in alley and nearby streets, could not access the building for more than an hour so dined early at nearby pizzeria. Unable to determine what happened. Crime can happen in best neighborhoods.
Shower was narrow but plentiful hot water. No microwave in kitchen but refrigerator kept milk and juice cold. Did not use gas stove. Air conditioning (heat) kept room comfortable at 20 degrees.
Umberto offered me a ride to airport for 20 euros on a Saturday morning. He is a handsome young man and I was concerned he might oversleep after Friday night so I asked him to arrive a half hour early. When he was half an hour late, I walked a few blocks uphill to a taxi stand and paid 18 euros plus tip. He later emailed that his car would not start.
