The ancient alley, just a step away from everything

I stayed for a month in this delightfully cute home located in a neighborhood alley in the historic center. It really felt like I was living like a local, which is just what I wanted. The neighbors and hosts were very friendly. It is convenient to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and all forms of transportation. I had to use the air-con in September, so glad the place had it. It also has a washing machine and microwave for added convenience. It had everything I needed and wanted!

Mariapia and Antonio were excellent hosts. Antonio picked us up from the train station in his car and took us back. The accommodation is very central and everything is within walking distance. In the accommodation there is everything you need for a good start - coffee, water, spices are available. There are many good restaurants and shops nearby. You can easily go to the Amalfi Coast by ferry and to Pompeji by train. The accommodation is right in the historic center, it's quite lively at night. It is advisable to close the windows. The accommodation is at a comfortable temperature. Mariapia e Antonio, grazie per il buon tempo.

Access to the property is down a side street and then a main door into a small hallway, which had washing machine and toilet. Up a few stairs to the living room, bedroom and bathroom. Up again a few more stairs to a small kitchen area. The floors are all tiled and the apartment stayed cool throughout the day. Mariapia and her husband were great hosts, welcoming us and showing us round the apartment, giving some good advice about things to do whilst we were in Salerno. Antonio came back when we checked out and took us to the train station, which was very kind. Salerno is well situated for a trip to Pompeii - you can get a train from the station called Duomo via Vernieri which is a 10 minute walk. Buy a ticket to Pompeii Scavi and you can use the bus link at the station to take you to the entrance. It is also well situated for boat trips along the Amalfi coast, we went to Positano and thoroughly enjoyed the trip over the sea.

The place is better than the photos. Well equipped and comforable and very quiet in spite of being very central.

The apartment is on three levels: street level has the entrance and half bath, the washing machine, and supplies. The main level has the sitting room, bedroom, and bathroom. Upstairs is the kitchen. It was plenty of room and worked well for me for 17 days in September. It's clean and all the supplies and furnishings you need are there. If you want to be in the historic center, the location is excellent. For example, the Lungomare, the Diocesan museum, the Gardens of Minerva, and numerous restaurants and shops were an easy walk. By the same token, there is plenty of activity on the street and neighborhood. Not least, the owners were more than just passingly helpful.

Very positive. Lovely hosts who picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. Very helpful with maps, schedules etc. Couldn't have asked for more!

Mariapia and Antonio were terrific hosts. They met us at the apartment to show us everything. They have all your information for your tour of the Almalfi coast, Salerno and surroundings. They were very gracious providing a bowl of fruit and coffee and a few soft drinks and water. That was certainly not a requirement but a very nice touch. The apartment is in the heart of old Salerno. Just take a stroll out and enjoy the cafe's, restaurants shopping, the cathedrals and more. The apartment was very quiet at night as well. Thank you Mariapia and Antonio for the use of your beautiful apartment.
