When we initially arrived we were a bit concerned about the area (as noted in other reviews), however quickly realised the area was safe and was close to the main tourist area (Spaccanapoli). The apartment itself is very secure, big, modern, fully stocked, clean and inviting. The only point to note was the bed dipped in the middle, so when sleeping with two people it was quite uncomfortable and hurt my back. I slept on the pull out couch which was good. Overall, a good stay!
