Maria's place in Naples is one of the best we encountered during our 2 week Italy trip. It is stylish and spacious. Has a separate air conditioning unit so if you go in the winter, you can use that to be comfortable (a lot of the other places rely only on central heating which is not that effective). The place is somewhat of a walking distance from Napoli Centrale station but the cobbled stone roads make it difficult to walk with luggage. Be wary of taxi cabs in Napoli. We got stripped of 15 Euros and got dropped 10 mins away from the place stating that he cannot drive there. Maria gives good instructions on how to use the cab. Definitely use it or ask her to book a cab for you. From Napoli Centrale, you can take trains to Mt. Vesuvius/Pompeii. Mt.Vesuvius was closed due to activity but Pompeii is must visit. This place is minutes away from L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, the birth place of the modern pizza. Definitely grab one there. If you see long lines, don't hesitate to go in for the take away (to go) line, it moves very fast!
