This apartment is exactly as pictured in the photos - bright, airy, spacious, impeccably clean, and with furniture that looks all new. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and friendly, providing us with suggestions of things to do, how to get places, where to order pizza from, and answers to any and all questions we had. She was also very accomodating with check-in/out times, first suggesting that we could leave our luggage with her until check-in (since we were arriving earlier in the day), and then letting us actually check-in early when the previous guests happened to leave early as well. She even checked on us during our stay, and helped us book a tour of Pompeii with a highly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Really couldn't have asked for more from this stay! The only note I might make, which doesn't really have any bearing on the host or the quality of the apartment, is that the immediate surrounding area is a little rough-looking, and might be a bit unsettling to some... personally, I walked through it both in the morning and coming back in the early evening, and never felt particularly unsafe. I suppose it depends what you are used to and what you are looking for from the stay, but for me, staying in a spacious and clean apartment with easy access to the train station at such good value was more than worth the less than picturesque view from the window. I would absolutely stay here again.
