The flat was even better in real life than the photos! a beautiful, elegant and wholesome space, in a building full of character and a neighbourhood full of personality.
Even though it was a very hot week in Napoli (like most of Europe), the thick walls and shutters of the flat meant things were more comfortable.
The beds were extremely comfortable too, and the fact there were three bathrooms helped for a family of four...
Maria G´s flat is well located on the edge of the "Spanish quarter", and it was very easy to walk down into the main shopping/cafe area on Via Toledo or another smaller pedestrian only (in principle) street called Via Chiamia.... in addition, there is one lovely small place for breakfast or lunch called "Da Maria" only a minute away on foot, where the ham and local Mozarella cheese and local wine is second to none. There is also a pizzeria literally 30 seconds away where there is pizza and pasta and takeaway chicken (good quality - although you need to order the chicken in advance).....
We would definitely stay at Maria G´s place again without hesitation although next time not in the height of the Summer!
All in all, a very atmospheric, refreshingly different experience and a location that gives visitors a real insight into how ordinary "Napoletanos" live their lives. Far more interesting than just staying in a hotel in the centre.....but it depends what you are looking for.
