Like – apartment is clean, tidy and we’ll equipped for 5/6 people. Comfy beds and a really nice flat layout to suit family or couples. Everything worked and felt as if recently updated. Kids liked having big TV, Netflix and flat location. Very central so ideal for walking to the various places, area felt safe and friendly. Neighbours are nice and always willing to help or recommend places as will Antonio.
Maria (has the key) does not speak English but we did fine in communicating with the help of others, the few phrases we learnt and Google translate. Lots of small shops for essentials and a Carrefore express 10 mins walk away for bigger shop.
Antonio, we never met, but communicated quickly and always on hand to help. Flat is on the top floor so this might deter people so bear this in mind. It’s 109 steps so take it as good exercise given you’ll be eating a lot of carbs and deserts whilst in Napoli.
Disliked – taxi driver from airport dropped us off just near the Naples Cathedral (Duomo) citing ‘its that way up a narrow road’; which is fine if you have no luggage. We had 4 suitcases and 3 children to struggle with on cobbles with scooters and cars coming from various directions at speed. Don’t fall for that one as we did and insist they take you to the door as they only do it so they can avoid having to take the long route back to the airport.
Would come back to Antonio’s place again and happy to recommend his place here in Naples and him as a host who cares for his guests and their well being. He kindly arranged up request a taxi to take us to the station for our onward journey.
