Sergio is a super-host with the most. We spent five days and four nights in his flat. He is such a charming and honest man. His English is very good. He remained available day and night throughout our visit to answer our enquiries on subjects as diverse as ferry times and restaurant recommendations. He even managed to secure a table (at very short notice) at the wonderful ragu restaurant, where even locals often have difficulty securing a table. On our first night, he walked us to the nearby supermarket so that we could buy groceries. His friend also picked us up and dropped us off at the airport – at the appointed time - for less than what you would be charged by the regular cab drivers (who are notorious in Naples for overcharging, especially visitors). The flat is very well-located in a neighbourhood that is atmospheric and authentic, and safe. if you are planning on spending your time going to the excavation sites of Pompeii, Ercolano and Oplontis, or visiting Vesuvio, the flat is a straightforward (15 minute) walk to both Porta Nolana and Garibaldi stations. The ferries to the islands and Sorrento are a similar distance. The restaurants and historic churches of the Centro Storico are also extremely close by. Yes, it’s a third floor walk-up (with no elevator), but we are used to that arrangement, so it didn’t bother us. In what is a bustling, noisy city, the neighbourhood is extremely quiet at night. There is an air-conditioner (which we used since our visit coincided with a late season period of hot weather) and heating. The set-up is no frills, but is airy and extremely clean. If you want a relaxing stay in a city that can be quite overwhelming (in the nicest possible way) on a first visit, with a first-rate location, this is a truly excellent pick. The very best thing, though, is being hosted by Sergio, whose local knowledge and obvious pleasure in sharing the delights of his city with visitors makes for a truly unique experience. Grazie mille, Sergio.
