Maria’s place is in an excellent location in Naples, being 10 minutes from the port, Spaccanapoli, Piazza del Plebiscito and the Pallazzo Reale. Further to this, there are excellent bars and restaurants within walking distance and is well connected by transport links. The area overall felt really safe, even when we returned later in the night.
When we were staying here, the ground floor studio flat itself was newly renovated and was very modern. The reason for the 3 star rating was due to some teething problems with the flat, such as see through curtains (not good on the ground floor), no toilet seat and issues with the keys. However these can be solved quickly by Maria.
Otherwise, the flat itself is quite loud (as it is on the ground floor) though I know this is not an issue for a lot of people.
Finally, Maria is a great host, who is always enthusiastic and will respond quickly to any queries or questions. Also the provisions provided (pasta, oil, coffee) are a nice touch when you arrive.
Overall the flat is incredible value in the heart of Naples and once the few issues we had are quickly sorted out, it can make a great place to stay.
