I havent, but you can still judge the basics with the information you have. Its litterally one of the few main European cities that screams 3rd world slum in several ways.

Wow. You are so West/Central European/Scandinavian in your thinking it's scary 
. How many of you have actually spent a considerable amount of time in Naples?

Nonsense! Maybe we should include directions to napoli's stadium, as a service for outside visitors. On the way, they can be blessed with the breathtaking beauty of the place!
When you arrive at the train station, you go straight ahead, then take a left here:
Then you continue for 200 meters and take a right at this point:
When you get to the end of the street you take another right.
Then finally you take a left and you should see the entrance to the stadium at the other side of this square:

Slums don't mean a city can't be beautiful. Look at Rio.
You sort of appreciate the beauty if you've been there for a while. Like most big Italian cities, there are still incredibly nice buildings and churches and parts of Naples are definitely beautiful. The bay itself is stunning and we all know about the smaller cities south of Naples.
I guess I find it very annoying that so many stuck up Northern Europeans and Americans on this forum act as if Naples is the worst place on Earth, when in reality they know almost nothing of the place and its inhabitants.

That's the attitude I'm talking about.

I really like Southern-Italy, but only as tourist. It think I can't feel my comfortable in big cities like Napoli and Bari, but there are some small cities that are richer and has less criminality. I still want to visit Capri a small city on an island, one of the most southern places. They say it is also a good place to live.
Hehe, I don't like western-Netherlands aswell haha. For me it is too busy and crowded and too much modern building etc. I live in the east, by Nijmegen. Originally Noviomagus the oldest city from the Netherlands founded by the Roman Empire. But after the WOII most of Nijmegen is bombed and there is not so much over. #randominfo

I think Napoli has enough going for it that many cities don't have. Aragon, Habsburg, Bourbon influences. Great piazzas. Palaces, great museums, and cultural icons. A gorgeous sea coast. A Greek underground legacy. Hot female cops. Good food culture.
There are worse places to be.
That's true of Florida and American football players though. That's not so much life in Napoli.
But people jizz all over Paris and its exquisite beauty and culture, and it has suburban outskirts that are complete shantytowns and immigrant slums that make Napoli's seem tame by comparison.

Capri is cool. It has a different vibe than the rest of the area. A bit more jet-set where people hang out in piazzas half to be seen, wearing Prada, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Alberta Ferretti, Loro Piana, Vhernier, etc. just out for lunch under the sun. Not bad for a place where Caesar Augustus liked to sequester his young boys for buttseks.
It's a complete night-and-day difference between night and day, however. Overnight it's largely just locals ... people wearing furs to dinner at nice local restaurants where they prepare a special meal for your dog Fifi. It's low traffic and mellow.
In the daytime, everything changes. There are great hikes out to Villa Jovis and the like, where at 8am you can witness the Invasion-of-Normandy-like surge of tourist boats approaching on the horizon en masse. Then the hoardes of day-tripper tourists take over the center of town and the place gets quite lively.
Another cool thing is the complete lack of cars in the upper parts of the island along the main towns.
