We felt the place was as described and overall enjoyed our visit in the heart of Naples. It is in an old building and at first glance may seem like an unsafe area; however, we ventured out day and night encountering no problems and felt safe. The streets were busy with a mixture of locals and tourists who all kept to themselves. Salvatore met us upon arrival. I think he lives in the building so he was around and seemed to know many locals. He also arranged a taxi to the airport. Countless shops and restaurants of various prices are within easy walking distance. One person had posted that they were cold; however, during our stay a space heater was there which we turned on for just a couple of hours to knock the chill off before bedtime and we slept comfortably.
Suggest bringing the following:
1. Comfortable walking shoes as the cobblestone streets and walkways can quickly tire the feet otherwise.
2. Washcloths as none have been provided anywhere we have stayed in Europe, including expensive hotels.
3. Some currency in Euros because many street vendors, taxis, and museums do not accept credit cards. We got by with just credit cards but it would have been easier with euros.
4. A white noise machine to drown the outside noise. We brought one and it was a lifesaver for us as there are loud noises outside the windows from people and motorcycles late into the night.
