Traveling to Italy in 2 weeks with my sister in law for her dream trip. She got the Airbnbs, but the last one is in Massa Lubrense and I am worried about getting around the Amalfi coast and being isolated. Any advise on Massa Lubrense- getting from Sorrento there, getting to Amalfi/positano?
Host at Airbnb is arranging Capri and rides to airport at end. Anyone have a good driver/your guide to get to Amalfi?
Restaurants or site recommendations?
Niece wants to hike a path of Gods- advise?
Thanks

Massa Lubrense (ML) could be said, like Sorrento, to be on the Gulf of Naples, not the Amalfi Coast. But the key information you need to research is where the nearest SITA bus stop and nearest Circumvesiuviana train station are, and how you can get there from your unspecified AirBnb. Google Maps may be helpful, especially if you don't wish to reveal the address here. Some housing in ML may offer shuttle services, but I've never known anyone who stayed there.
Although ML has been mentioned on this board before, it's not as popular a destination as Sorrento, which has the best public transit connections. It's partly a matter of money, for taxis and car services, as well as the cost of a room to sleep.
Hotels can usually provide a car service, but if the AirBnb host doesn't suggest someone, you can search this newsboard (top center Search box) for past discussions of (mostly) car services from Sorrento. Note that ".. to get to Amalfi" is unclear, whether you mean "the Amalfi Coast" or "[the town of] Amalfi". I would think that a Sorrento based car service would be happy to pick up in ML. How much extra it costs, I don't know. But 125 Euros is probably a ballpark cost to Naples or Positano. (They are likely to have to return empty.)
Presumably you want to know how to get to any beaches or water views in Massa Lubrense as well. I haven't researched the climate or temperatures for October.
