If you are looking for modern accommodations with tons of conveniences and amenities, the airbnb at Vico Paazarielo 11 is probably not the place for you. However, if you are seeking an 'immersive' experience into Italian (Neapolitan) culture ...a place with a certain authentic character ('particulare')...then you cannot do better than Vico Paazariello 11. The location is in a traditional 'basso' style, two-level apartment that is dedicated to the preservation of the 'vico (alley) culture' of Naples. It is filled with costumes and memorabilia of the original occupants and host's theatrical work and rich personal history. Host Andelora (and Angelo, 'Il Capitano') occasionally host performance-demonstrations and afternoon dinners for groups of foreign visitors (like young students from abroad studying in Italy)-- offering and experience they call 'neo-realismo' tourismo. I was lucky enough to have been invited as a guest to participate in one such event (accompanied by a Italian-translating teacher, fortunately) in which the tradition of the 'pazzariello' (the equivalent of a 'town crier' in old New England, but with a more promotional function) was performed and explained (complete with traditional instruments and humorous songs) by Angelo. This was followed up with a delicious home-cooked, traditional meal (Andelora's home-made ragu -- without meat for veggies but with a meat option -- with pasta, bread, wine)...Goodness, I truly felt like I was amongst family (truly; my grandfather was from a small town outside Napoli)! At its conclusion, we were all treated to traditional Neapolitan songs by Andelora herself (a delightful surprise to hear her lovely voice wafting through the alley way after knowing her only as my bnb host!). The bnb is situated within one of the liveliest neighborhoods in all of Naples. And while it is true that some sections of this quarter are filled with tourists, other sections are quieter and offer slices of every-day family life. But everywhere you turned was picaresque and filled with big and small, sometimes hidden, surprises (like wall-embedded shrines to local patron saints). On my first night, unexpectedly, I got to see a traditional Puccinella (Marionette) puppet show performed by an Italian (Neapolitano) Master Puppeteer (at a tiny local theatre just around the corner; if I had not been invited I would never had known such a thing existed). There is no wi-fi at the basso, but I managed to find excellent wi-fi at a local bar just a couple of blocks up the main alley on via Santa Chiara (the bar is called 'Pin 8' and its owner, Giuseppe -- introduced to me by Angelo and his friend -- was very kind and generous to me; the bar became my regular 'hang-out; spot) and so was able to communicate with Andelora adequately by email (as my phone's SIM card would not work in Italy -- again, Andelora was understanding of this issue with my phone and made accommodations). My biggest complaint (rimostranza) is that the large cobble stone ally ways were so uneven and irregular that walking them (and I did a LOT of walking) was very stressful on my knees (which were sore several days after leaving Naples for home, but, I am older now, too). Thanks again to the talented Angelo ('Il Capitano') who was a very helpful and friendly guide to the local cultural scene (and made adjusting to Naples much easier than it would have been). Andelora spoke very little English, and Angelo only a bit, but both understood the needs and desires of this solo traveler and were very patient and helpful with my Italian language learning (and knowledgeable, of course, about Naples). So, while my experience in Naples was a bit 'rustic' (for a city stay) and hard on my knees, having hosts like Andelora and Angelo made everything worthwhile and an experience I will remember all of my life (and I hope to visit again someday, knowing I will be welcomed as a friend returning after a long absence).
