Staying with Pina made my experience in Napoli that much more amazing. First off, she's an incredibly warm host who's always available to answer questions about Naples, etc. or chat about music or art. Her English is limited but conversations were still possible. I love how she really seemed to enjoy to have me around, sharing her kitchen, showing me how to properly make Neapolitan coffee, and always being accommodating with the washing machine! I got to hang my laundry out from the 6th floor, Napoli style!
As with most of the Italian households I've stayed in, daily cleaning is de rigeur and the bathroom the two airbnb rooms have is all for the guests, renovated and sparking clean. There wasn't much of a living room but my room was quite large and comfortable, as well as the bed. The views from the top floor on which she lives are spectacular: I could see Mt Vesuvius from my room!
This is an old school Centro Storico building and everything that comes with it. There was no elevator to the 6th floor (5th in Europe) and NO AC. It was very hot during my stay and luckily with a fan, the temperature was fine for sleeping.
Street noise is loud and common all through the night so I was fine with earplugs and with the windows closed, you barely could hear anything (but I had to keep them open due to the heat). I doubt anywhere in Centro Storico is quiet if you're on the street side.
In total, this place is an awesome value for the location (few minutes walk to the Duomo and around the corner from Pio della misericordia) and for Pina's hospitality.
