The view from the apartment and the shared terrace was breathtaking. We also appreciated the private garden outside the building, which gave us a sense of being out of the city. The apartment was quiet. We only heard the people in the room next door, and they were always respectful. We were grateful we could drop off our luggage before check-in and leave it for an hour after check-out. The air conditioning was great for cooling down at night and after exploring the city.
There is a small shop for basic necessities down the street. Though we found the street outside a bit disappointing. Quite a few of these nearby streets are dirty, loud, and chaotic. It’s nicer once you get down to Via Chiaia street and more charming when you get into the Chiaia district. Part of what makes this apartment nice (the view) is also what makes it challenging to navigate on foot (the hills and steps). The host told us about an elevator accessible on Via Chiaia which helped us out a lot. The route to the sea, beach, and ferry port was further than expected. It took us about 20-30 minutes on foot to reach them.
