The apartment is just next door to Porta Nolana train station (which means you will have to walk maybe 100m to your train to Pompeii), so the area around it is a bit shabby, but the apartment itself is brand new - renovated just weeks ago, stylish, spacious and spotlessly clean. It has all amenities as advertised and can easily accomodate 3 families of 2. Some windows offer a nice view of Sant Elmo castle up on the hill. Old town is within a walking distance of every healthy person. We have loved the apartment immediately. However, be aware that new electrical installation lacks power. It is enough to turn on air conditioning in several rooms or try to cook something in the oven and safety switch goes on cutting the power off in the whole apartment. Note that the safety switch is located at the ground floor (look for it in the large cabinet right by the front door) and the apartment is on the 4th floor.
