Livio's mother was a great host and everything went smooth; we could communicate sufficiently even our Italian is only rudimentary. The apartment was very clean and we as a family of five could live there well. The location is great if you arrive by boat (as we did) and it is very central. If one would stay longer than a couple of nights the traffic might be to loud. Since we hat the perfect location for a one-day visit to Napoli and another day to Vesuvius and Pompei, we had a great time.
