The view is spectacular and better than you can imagine: sunrise over Vesuvius, cruise ships drifting in and out of the harbor, historic churches ringing their bells. The location is great; book stores, churches, cafes, bars, museums, easy to the metro, and an easy walk to many spots (easy if you can tolerate the narrow streets and sharing space with cars and motor bikes. The apartment is very bohemian with funky interesting art; the stairs are serious and you must be in excellent shape to stay here. The final set of stairs leading to the room is almost a ladder. The hosts are very friendly.
