Maria was a terrific hostess. She met us at the entrance to her home and accompanied us inside and helped us to get settled. It was hot and she brought us refreshments to cool us off. I highly recommend her place. It is very safe! Easy walking distance to the piazza and grocery store. We cooked while we were there to save on eating out and she had everything we needed. She even brought us breakfast before we checked out. I'd definitelystay there again if I'm ever in Naples.
Tips:
1. traffic in Naples is a nightmare so if you drive, be aware the drivers are aggressive. At least parking by Maria is easy and secure (definite plus)
2. More cost effective to cook.
3. Get out of Naples for a day (leave early) and drive to Mt. Vesuviusand Pompeii. We were able to do those before noon and still drive to the Amalfi Coast and take a boat to the Isle of Capri. We fit as ll that in 1 day getting back to Naples at 2130. (You can also take a boat from Naples to Capri but it cost a lot.)
