Maria was a super host - she went out of her way to help us get to the train station so we could make it to our Pompeii tour, and she literally walk us to the station herself!!! As we don't speak Italian, communications were done via an Italian / English translator phone app, which was effective enough. She also ensured the taxi we got the next morning (early) was scheduled and that we didn't get a tourist rate. She walked us out to that as well at 5 in the a.m.! The path to the apartment is rough, and you have to go up two sets of stairs (no lift) to get to the apartment - be advised if like us you have a good bit or heavy luggage. The apartment was nice - clean and ready with arrival snacks and water provided. One bedroom is actually like the livingroom, so guests of the other room will have to transit through to get to the kitchen or to the second bathroom. The one real downfall was the A/C. It either didn't work or wasn't sufficient, so we were extremely hot all night. There was also what sound like a gun war happening in the middle of the night - when you think about the location, think a rough neighborhood of New York City. All in all, a great host, but the location and A/C left some room for improvement.
