The studio is very well arranged and presented, with everything one needs available. Giovanni is superquick in his communication, always curtuous, attentive and helpful. We met his Mum who is running the place. Despite not speakig English, she was friendly and helpful and we managed to communicate quite well, even had a laugh. They both were very helpful, arranged a cab for us as we had an early flight and checked up on us if all was well. the flat is within a short walk to the train station and the Circumvesuviana trains, and also just a few minutes’ ride from the airport.
However, the area is pretty rough and we felt quite unsafe and uncomfortable walking back after dark. Even during the day there are junkies and rough sleepers wandering around and engaging with passers by. While one could put a lot to cultural differences etc, we were actually advised by police patrolling the area not to walk around at night, which was rather alarming and effectively confined us to staying mostly in in the evenings.
