We really enjoyed our short stay at Elisabetta’s apartment. We were only in Naples for the 24 hours before our return flight to the UK but the fantastic location of the apartment (on the edge of the historic district) allowed us to make the most of the little time we had.

We were arriving from Ischia via the ferry port and thought we’d find the apartment on foot as it didn’t look far on the map. But the combination of cobbles, steps, traffic, 37 degree heat and luggage made it a bit stressful!

The apartment was great: clean and well designed, with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The shower was excellent, the bed was comfy and the air conditioning worked well. There was a narrow balcony outside with a great view overlooking the street below. The street itself has a number of cafe bars and restaurants up the hill and like everywhere else in Italy, it really came alive on an evening. Despite the bustling nightlife, we didn’t find the noise to be a problem.

Elisabetta was a great host. We arrived early on Sunday morning and although the previous guests hadn’t left yet, she was happy to meet us and let us leave our luggage with her until our room was ready. When we returned at lunch time, our luggage had been placed in the apartment and everything was ready. The following day, Elisabetta arranged a fixed-price taxi to the airport for us, to save us from paying too much.

All in all, it was a great stay; A perfect base for exploring Naples and we’d love to return in the future.
