Nice Peaceful Stay
Pros: (1) clean property, (2)a/c takes time to kick in but works (essential for summer), (3) communication with property manager via *WhatsApp* with mostly prompt responses, (4) helpful family managing the property, (5) peaceful stay.
Cons: (1) the property is on a hill - you have to take at least two flights of stairs (not in the pictures) outside the house to get to the entrance, and then there is a colorful long flight of stairs inside the house (in the pictures). So be prepared if traveling with someone relatively old or is pregnant. On the other hand, this amount of climbing is what gives you great views from the house. (2) getting a taxi/cab is not easy - although we had their contact numbers (from the property manager), the cabs were not responsive when we reached out to them via phone. On the other hand, buses usually run as per the timetable, and the amount of walking to this property from the bus stop is comparable to how far a cab can drop you off. (3) not many options to eat nearby - you will have better luck in Salerno city (downtown).
Other information that could be useful:
(1) any major travel to nearby places (e.g., Capri, Positano, Naples, Pompeii, etc) happens from Salerno city (downtown), which is a 20 to 30-minute bus ride from this property (unless you pre-booked a taxi/cab). (2) beware of public holidays - you'll have to plan accordingly to find alternate bus stops and routes, which may require some additional walking up/down the hill.
