While the location at the top of a fairly steep hill maybe off putting to some, the flip side is that from this height, sitting on the beautiful balcony affords the most magnificent views of the city with Mount Vesuvius in the background. From the outside entrance which is on a very narrow lane I was thinking maybe I had made a mistake in choosing this apartment, however once inside the apartment is beautiful & clean and although I had read some negative comments about the area I never felt anything but safe, You just have to watch out for mopeds and cars appearing from nowhere, especially on parts of the road with no footpath. However, this advice applies to all of Naples. Bianca is a very amiable host and provided me with breakfast every morning which is certainly the exception rather than rule when using AirBnB. While Bianca speaks some English, I would definitely not say she was fluent. I would often try to communicate in basic Italian which sometimes worked, sometimes not, but we always eventually understood each other. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay at Biancas, which felt like a very authentic Neapolitan experience and would not hesitate to stay here again. One word of advice, if you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs as the bedroom looks onto the route used by all motorcycles. This can go on until 1am and starts again about 7am. Ciao.
