We were two couples who stayed for 8 nights in Massimo's beautiful apartment. It is unique and very special. Massimo arranged for our pickup at the train station and our driver was on time, waiting for us. He also arranged for our trip to Positano on the Amalfi coast.
We were welcomed by the housekeeper as Massimo was out of town. The apartment was immaculate and there were more than enough towels and toilet supplies. There was also a generous supply of cookies, crackers and jam for us, as well as juice and milk.
We all agreed that this was a great location. We loved returning to the neighborhood at the end of the day and the shopkeepers made us feel at home each morning. It is where real Neapolitans live.
One of the restaurants that Massimo recommended, Trattoria Ettore which is just around the corner was so good we went twice. Their grilled squid is the best we ever had. Another excellent and reasonable restaurant is Pastamore & Chiatamone on Via Chiatamone 56.
Naples has so many wonderful things to do. If you can, book opera tickets online for the nearby magnificent San Carlo Theatre, which is older than La Scala. Even if you're not an opera goer (which none if us are) it's a great experience and you get to sit in a box seat.
Also Marco who gives free walking tours. (check the internet).
The Art Subways are amazing. If you can't see all 13 of them at least see the Toledo Station which is spectacular.
We will definitely recommend this apartment to any of our friends who come to Naples!
