While reading a travel blog, I saw the name of this hotel. I followed a link and ended up admiring the room pictures and the descriptions. Literally, they had only one time period for the month of August during which there were available rooms. (Because they have only a few rooms, you book a specific one.) The price was too good to pass up, and we booked 9 days here. Our room was extremely nice, and it offered us extremely clean, comfortable and cared for space to unwind at the end of each long day. I regret that I cannot remember her name, but there is an on-site staff member who went above and beyond from the time we arrived until we departed. She helped arrange transportation, connected us with a laundry service, brought the iron every time and I needed one it, and, most importantly, brought our delicious continental breakfast every morning. (Stop Reading Now, if you don't like too many specific details.) Most Important Meal of the Day The breakfast consists of items such as boiled eggs, juice, toasted ham and cheese sandwich and croissants. (Upon arrival, you get a menu card to leave outside your door at night, and there are enough for every day of your stay.) The croissants are fresh and flaky. There are at least three fillings from which to choose, and we never had one to disappoint. Location, Location, Location The Good: The "hotel" is located in an apartment building. We had brief exchanges with tenants, and they were nice. You could occasionally hear daily life going on--couples arguing, babies crying, etc. There was never any noise to keep us awake. There is a metro station about 15 minutes away. The walk is not horrible, but what we found to be most useful were the buses. We thought we were 7 to 10 minutes away from the best bus route, but we discovered a bus stop practically across the street. With that, we were able to get to many places easily. The only times we took cabs were to get to the meeting spot for our Pompeii/Mt. Vesuvius day trip and to head back to the airport. For both trips, the property staff member (whose name I still cannot remember) arranged the cab service. There are many restaurants very near, and the staff member provided restaurant recommendations. Li Ar Monte is AMAZING, and it's barely a five minute walk, if memory serves me. I cannot remember the name of the recommended gelato place, but TRUST that it is delicious. We went every day. There is a small grocery store on the corner. It was so painfully hot when we were there, that we often dropped in to get refreshing fruit, to replenish bottles of water (OMG their water prices are so much better than ours in America!) and to equip ourselves with miscellaneous items such as bug repellant. This was a convenience we didn't anticipate, and we were grateful for it. The Bad: The elevator had some issues while we were there. I believe it was a result of human error; nonetheless, it was inconvenient for the entirety of our stay. If
