The apartment is extremely well located. Had good communication with the Host Manlio, who was waiting for us at the apartment... We got the train on the Metro line from Garibaldi and got off at Montesanto, which was literally 3 minutes walk away from the apartment. The neighbourhood might feel a bit sketchy for those who have never been to Naples before, but it is quite safe, you just have to look beyond the facade, plus its just a 5 minute walk until you are on the via Toledo, or you can take the funicular up to the top of the hill which has spectacular views.
The apartment was wonderful! So homely, cosy and with a real authentic Italian feel, from the classic Italian films, to the record player with classic Italian opera... Pavarotti! The space is cleverly divided with a mezzanine bedroom space, as the flat has wonderfully high ceilings and some beautiful historical details which the owner has carefully protected. We were staying in August and unfortunately it was a little too humid in the bedroom space on the mezzanine and we sometimes felt a little bit unsure to leave the windows open all night as its on the first floor of the building and the noise from the streets is sometimes too loud (after all this is Naples!). There is not air conditioning, but there are fans, which were a bit noisy to sleep with... So just bare that in mind...
I adored so many aspects of this apartment, that would make me want to go back and stay there easily! The kitchen is big, with a communal table and lots of space to lounge around, plus a lot of equipment to use. There are two balconies overlooking the street, which always has something to look at. There are two bathrooms; one for the bedrooms upstairs and one huge one next to the kitchen, which has a wonderful bathing space...
Was a little disappointed that the washing machine was broken!! Please try to fix it!!!
All in all I had a great stay at the apartment... would very much recommend it to anyone who is going for a charming holiday with friends in Naples...
