I don't see how you could do better than a stay at this lovely apartment. We spent 8 days in Naples (hint to you others, spend some real time in this fantastic city). The apartment is located in the center of the old city and bustling with activity but the noise was never a problem once you closed the windows ( I personally love the vibrancy). It's a pedestrian area most of the time and people watching from the balconies (there are three) is mesmerizing. The cafe across the street is a definite plus as are all the great small family run restaurants in the area. It's a short two block walk to buses that take you just about anywhere, but Naples is truly a walkable city. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and comes with every amenity you need. The kitchen is large and fully equipped but there local restaurants are so wonderful and inexpensive that we didn't cook anything except a great cappuccino in the morning. Don't let the stairs deter you if you have any reasonable health (I'm 73, overweight and out of shape and I did just fine....the challenge is that the risers are higher than modern ones so I figured that each time I went up and down I was burning off another gelato!) Our host was Enrico and he was fantastic. Ask for suggestions for restaurants and he really comes through. He offered great suggestions for getting to Teatro San Carlos for a night at the opera and an upscale restaurant. We will definitely return.
