Amazing!!! If you’re coming to Naples, and looking for a haven away from the gritty immersion that is Naples, please do yourself a favour and stay here.
Firstly, Roberta is just wonderful. She responded immediately to any questions or comms, she supplied us with a few essentials, like wine, that were above and beyond the call of duty, she showed us local places, gave us maps, etc. I could go on but it’s the house I am sure you are interested in.
The first three things I alway assess when I Airbnb is cleanliness, the state of the bathroom and how good the bed and pillows are. All three were awesome. It’s practically brand new. It’s spacious, has great amenities and is decorated in a simple yet stylish fashion. Also, of the 5 different places we stayed in across Italy it was the ONLY place that had a lift...after 8 hours of ‘tourist’ walking each day you’ll be surprised how happy that can make you.
The neighborhood is grungy, has a gritty feel to it and can only be described as ‘real’. It lacks the beauty of Florence and the architecture of Rome but I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. In fact I would have liked an extra day to further explore the city. This place is in a suburb referenced as the ‘old town’, which it is. The house is on an alley that is just off the main strip where you will find restaurants and shops. It was good. The ‘Eat. Pray.Love’ restaurant is a 10min walk, which at times felt a little unsafe, but my goodness is it the best pizza I have ever tasted, and the cheapest across all of Italy. About a 30min walk to the main train station and the same of the main port to Capri.
We loved staying here!!!!
