Our stay at Francesco’s apartment was OK. He was particular about agreeing a specific time for us to arrive, there are no directions but you should be able to find the street on Google Maps. The apartment is located up two flights of stairs (no lifts) about a 5-10 minute walk from the historic city centre, 10-15 minutes from the nearest train station, and 25-30 minutes from the port and the modern centre of town with e.g. the palace and castles. It is a classic small, narrow Neapolitan side street, but we didn’t have any issues with the location or area the night we stayed there. Also worth noting that Francesco doesn’t speak English so keep Google Translate or your phrase book out if you don’t speak Italian!
The apartment itself was fairly clean and modern, though barebone, with basics (towels, soap and shampoo, a hairdryer and washing machine, basic utensils). Note there is no WiFi and no instructions on eg how to use the stove / no easy way to heat water for drinks save using the large pots and pans. The bed is comfortable, the apartment has a small balcony, and note that the neighbours can be loud / easily heard.
We had a challenge over the check in / checkout times on the listing and did suggest that Francesco update these on Airbnb - the listing claims checkin is from 8am and checkout from 9pm, but as soon as we arrived he informed us that he had already agreed for the next guests to arrive at noon, so we would need to vacate ahead of that with enough time to clean. We thought this was slightly abrupt and badly communicated given the listing and given that he hadn’t asked us before committing an early check in to his next guest. We didn’t have much of a choice in the matter and left early the next morning, with Francesco offering to keep our bags elsewhere if needed.
Overall the apartment was nice enough and reasonably well located, communication could have been better and the apartment was probably overpriced for what it was but we had a reasonable stay.
