Our air bnb in Rome was amazing so we had high hopes for this one! Sadly, so much went wrong.
First, no taxi can get directly to the air bnb. And maps does not take you to it. The lack of directions caused us to search around for twenty minutes in dirty and garbage filled Naples.
Second, the stairs are two stories and not for anyone with disabilities.
Third, the air bnb was dirty. It reeked of mildew. One room was so inhabitable our guest had to sleep on the couch. There are also some kind of mold stains on the wall in the bathroom. There were cooking stains on the wall behind the stove as well, however we could overlook that with how bad the mildew smell was.
Fourth, the door key pad did not always work. Some nights we spent upwards of ten minutes repeatedly entering our key code to get the door unlocked and it would not. We are two young women in Naples. This was not safe. We messaged the host and he said “the lock works flawlessly…” not helpful.
Fifth, there was an open complimentary tooth brush in the bathroom. Absolutely disgusting. I have never stayed somewhere where there has been an open complimentary toothbrush leftover.
Sixth, we left for ten minutes to get coffee and come back and the host sent us a rude message about being in violation of house rules by leaving lights and AC on. We left the lights on because he was going to be entering and the AC because we were returning. He has no regard for this but to send a rude and threatening message.
Seventh, the beds are worse than camping on the ground. Be sure you don’t have back problems. You will also only receive a hospital type blanket.
Eighth, the shower is difficult to use. You have to pull a very small toggle out for the overhead to work. If you pull too far it comes off. During our stay in Italy we had no experienced this and messaged him to come help us. Instead of coming to help he stated he never had any problems with the shower…. Again not hospitable or helpful. Luckily, we figured it out on our own.
If you are staying in Naples, I’d suggest a hotel.
