Our experience in Naples, staying in Francesco's loft was overall-good.

Starting with the good portions of the loft: It has been renovated quite nicely, with an eye for art and history. The space is indeed quiet lovely. Furthermore, that ability to walk from the loft to one of Naples major streets (via Toledo) and to the port (Molo Beverollo) is fantastic. Finally, the pictures of the loft accurately depict the space, but do not show how nicely and artistically decorated the area has been.

I've given this location a 'good' rather than fantastic rating, as there are several concerns about the area. The building itself, as a North American atleast, is slightly concerning. As you climb the stairs of the building, there's no believing that the unit will be as nice as it is. From the entrance of the building, to the loft, it is a worrisome/concerning area. However, once stepping into the loft it is as gorgeous as shown. Also, the area of Naples that this building resides in may be slightly concerning. We had friends from Naples who said that it is 'mostly' a safe area. So, please be aware if you're travelling with young children or are worried about walking down small, poorly lit alleyways on your own. In regards to the Loft itself, while no expense has been spared making the area cosmetically beautiful, there are some minor issues with the structural aspects of the loft. The bathroom has a very odd floor, and the shower is slightly concerning.

Overall, the stay was nice.
