Excellent apartment in Naples! The location right behind Piazza del Plebiscito is very central - a few steps to Via Toledo, short walk to a lot of sights, many restaurants/bars. We used public transportation a few times. We enjoyed the walk but the metros are about 7-8 minute walk so if you’re lugging heavy bags, keep that in mind. There are a few larger scale supermarkets a 5 minute walk from the apartment but also many smaller basics, fruit and veggies shops on the next block from the apartment. Lots of these stay open late and on Sundays so we felt everything was at our fingertips.
The apartment is small but very efficiently laid out. It’s tastefully decorated and feels very homey. It’s one of the cleanest airbnbs I have ever stayed in. There were extra sheets and towels, lots of conveniences like vanity kits, toothbrushes etc. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials to be able to prepare your own meals. Not just 2 pans and a few plates like some apartments. It even had a juicer, blender etc. Stefano was kind enough to also stock it with food, milk, juice, coffee etc which allowed us not to have to rush to the supermarket. The bed is comfortable, the heating system kept the apartment very cozy and the bathroom had hot water and decent pressure in the shower.
Being on the ground floor, it was convenient not to have to use the elevator or the stairs. It also felt very safe. This didn’t bother us but the street does get noisy with motorcycles buzzing by, neighbors banging the main entry and elevator doors and having lively conversations right outside at all times of the day. We noticed this but weren’t bothered. If you are a light sleeper, keep it in mind. But also you’re visiting a lively city so this isn’t really unexpected.
We had a great stay and would love to go back to Stefano’s place again at some point.
