As far as the host and the room are concerned, this can only be positive review. He keeps his place clean which reflects his personality. Marcus is sure to be the hope of Napoli. However, his neighborhood is holding him back. Many times I was accosted by beggars, even children who were dressing quite smart. Obviously begging is a game to them, but what about adults who ought to be teaching them the shame of begging? I tried to post a parcel overseas at the nearby post office and was flatly refused on the ground that I was not an Italian citizen. This was untrue because the post office in Venice had shipped a parcel for me and it had already reached Japan. But no, the man in Napoli office refused and went away to have a noon break while the local people complained. I went back to a nearby grocery shop Eder to ask them to come with me to the post office. They had made me buy heavy items in bins assuring me that I could ship them all home from that post office. They did not give me itemized receipt because the post office was closing soon. And yet, the two men in Eder did not look surprised that the post office did not accept my parcel and instead asked 50 Euros in cash so they would ship my parcel but only AFTER I have left Napoli. Their friendly smile was quickly replaced by sly indifference when I did not hand them cash. This must be a tip of the iceberg of what the host Marcus must put up with daily, but he has retained integrity which is a huge credit to him. It is understandable that he mistrusts people that he prefers to collect cash deposit himself instead of going through Airbnb. I did not want to judge people by their financial condition, but this time I was being naive.
