Hi Oliver,
As I write this i am in my room at the Wellesley Hotel in Naples. I opted for the hotel because i have to do all the exams whilst i am here, and wanted the privacy of a room to myself to be able to study. I would have like to stay in the condo's as I have seen them and they are really nice, basic but spacious, clean and well maintained.
The hotel is only a ten minute walk from the downtown area of 5th ave. Naples social life is not bad, theres a few good places downtown, Yabba's and an grat irish bar, Paddy Murphys, which has live music and gets fairly busy most nights, especially weekends. Not a whole lot of young people around though, it's mostly older retired people, not all though of course!
I'm only here a week, got ten 11hours up, two exams passed and well on my way. Here for five weeks so should get everything done in time. (JAA PPL)
It really is a great place, you'll meet loadsa people from all over the world, mostly europe, and the school itself is great, instructors are really professional, but young enough to make it fun and enjoyable.
Feel free to contact me if you wanna ask anything else, i was in your position only a short while ago and know exactly what your going through!
