Maria’s place is well located in a nice part of Naples. It’s an easy 8 minute walk to the nearest metro station. There are lots of shops and restaurants a short walk away and the area felt safe.
Unfortunately, Maria’s place has a mould problem: there is black mould in the bathroom and fuzzy/furry mould growing on the wall adjacent to the bed, which is an obvious risk to human health. When this issue was raised, Maria said it was ‘not a cleanliness issue’, was due to ‘being close to the sea’ and ‘the products used to sanitise the lawn’. She did not apologise about the mould, but she did offer to clean it on the final night I stayed.
There is a problem with air circulation and humidity - even with the windows open all day, my towels did not dry indoors. The open windows brought in mosquitoes. The remote control for the AC did not work. There was no handsoap when I checked in, and Maria was reluctant to provide any (although she eventually agreed to provide some). Would not stay again.
