  : Casa Micla is in a great location for exploring the Sorrento coast and Pompei, being only a 5 minute walk from the railway station in Vico Equense. The town is friendly and lively, with great places to eat and drink, but not over-crowded. Alfonso was a great host, he came to meet us from the bus and showed us to the apartment, pointing out places of interest on the way. Communication was excellent too, with fast responses to all of our questions. The apartment had everything we needed, and the beds were especially comfortable! I certainly recommend Casa Micla. We would like to return to the area to explore more of the peninsula, three nights were not enough.
  : The only negative from our perspective was the traffic noise at night, which we are not used to. However, it didn't stop any of us from sleeping and we enjoyed our stay.

  : Alfonso met us when we arrived - all of the communication prior to arriving was very helpful and he was incredibly informative, nothing was too much trouble. The apartment is comfortable and centrally located in Vico Equense, close to the shops and restaurants, and only a 10 minute walk from the station, for trips to Pompei and Sorrento. It's a beautiful place to explore and a great base to visit other places. We also took a trip to Capri - take the Circumvesviana train to Sorrento (just 2.2 Euros per ticket, buy from the ticket office) and then buy a ferry ticket across (about 20 Euros direct from ticket office). We did things on a budget and generally all of the public transport was reliable - getting back from Capri was a bit of a scrum but it all worked out. Capri was incredibly busy, I can only imagine what it's like in the summer - it was so busy waiting for transport up to the town that we walked, not for the faint-hearted! Helpfully Alfonso also told us about the bus you can catch directly to the airport for our journey back, which was very helpful (10 Euros each). Air con was great, kitchen well equipped, 2 bathrooms, you are just below street level and traffic can be noisy so set your expectations accordingly!
  : For the price, nothing really. We had a problem with the shower and it was sorted so quickly, for which we are very grateful. We did time our visit with Republic day so we had children running street races from very early in the day outside on one day, but it was good to be part of the fun!

  : The size of rooms, the well eqiuped kitchen. In the near were many shops and restaurants. The host was friendly and helpful at check in.
  : The bigger bedroom was not appropriate to sleep and relax, because it had no normal insulation. Sounds and smeels were coming always from the way through the window. The distance between the windows and the busy rout used by cars and motors was less than 3 m. (as the picture shows) So as we can relax, we slept on the floor of kitchen insteed of this bedroom, meanwhile the wall of the kitchen was next to the elevator used by others with disturning noises from early morning until late night. The respond of the host to my complain was that everybody is different, and he didn't want to understand us. We tried to stay as few time there as were possible. Unfortunately it would have been really difficult to find an other accomodation with children, so we focused on survival in order not to get bad memories for kids. The flat was under the ground level with continual musty smell. There was a warning on the wall that we can be fined by 100 EUR (!) in the case of any mistakes of separated waste collection.
