I stayed at Daniele's place for a week in October. The first thing I want to rave about is the location. Just a couple blocks from Via Tribunali, from the Duomo church, a 15-minute walk from the boat docks to the islands, a 20-minute walk to Garabaldi Square where the main train station and the Circumvesiviana trains are located. It is also 10-minutes from, for me, two of the best pizza parlors in Naples. L'Antica Pizzeria de Michele, off Corso Umberto, where there is always a line, and the one directly across the square, on Via Cesare Falcone, where I had the best pizza I ever remember.
The second thing I want to rave about is his apartment. It is old-time Naples, with ultra high ceilings, marble floors, a giant bath tub, very tall windows that open out to the street below, and many doors and fixtures that seems to be original to the building. It is quiet at night because the front side and the back side of the apartment are both on little-traveled, one-way streets. The apartment, which I shared with his father, is on the first floor, one flight up from ground. I walked the marble staircase, not sure if there is an elevator. The apt has a full kitchen and also a washing machine, both of which I made use of. I hung my laundry on the clotheslines outside my bedroom window, at which point, I felt like a true Neapolitan.
His father keeps a low profile, but if you do see him, perhaps early in the morning when he is leaving for work, he will gladly give you lots of insider tips about the city, how to get around, where to get the best gelato, where the nearest ATM is located, etc. etc.
I have two restaurant recommendations for you: Monastero Restovino on Via Santa Chiara, 10D. Hard to get into, but worth trying to get a seat. Also Trattoria Da Carmela, Via Tribunali 376. So good, I ate there three times!
