Albina was very good at communicating just prior to and during our stay both on line and by phone/text. She was always helpful and let us check in early due arrival on an early flight. The apartment is very central and everyone we had contact with was helpful. Given Naples has a reputation for being a crime spot this was not our experience at all. We walked around much of the city and used public transport with no problem whatsoever.

There can be a little noise from the piazza by the apartment but with the windows closed it is quiet. I am a light sleeper and slept very well. Please don't let the bustling atmosphere by day put you off, it quietens down at night and the location is simply stunning - looking over the square, across the bay of Naples to Vesiuvius. Make sure you catch a sun rise.

It's a great base for exploring further afield too. Two stops from Garibaldi - the main line station for Roman sites - and just up from the ferry terminal.

Metro cards are good value - you can use them on buses as well. At the time of travel - late October '16 day - tickets for one use were 1 Euro, day tickets for any amount of journeys within 90 minutes were 1.30 Euro and weekly tickets - any amount of use - 12 Euros. You can buy tickets in the Tabac just over the road and few doors down to the right. But don't forget to see some of the city on foot - the place is buzzing, people friendly and it's a relatively small and compact city. Website for both buses and tubes: www.anm.it

There are plenty of supermarkets for self catering including a Carrefour about ten minutes pleasent walk through the Chiaia district from the apartment. Huge selection of hams and cheeses, fresh bread and good value wine. The address is Via Vittorio Imbriani, 42, 80121 Napoli - google it. Albina has a two ring hob and a microwave. There is no facility to grill and no toaster so bear that in mind when planning meals. We managed fine. Pizza takeaway is always good value and excellent quality in Naples with several in the immediate vacinity.

Great week, thanks Albina.
