Manu's place was absolutely gorgeous. The views were astounding - truly a calming oasis in the beautiful and busy city that is Napoli. What stood out even more than the views (hard to imagine!) was the hospitality provided by Manu and her husband. We were arriving later than expected and they accommodated us with no problem and excellent communication. Not only that, but when we had a problem with the cab driver telling us ( we were coming from airport) that he wouldn't take a card (and the autostrada has NO cash machines anywhere on it in the rest stops. these are the things you learn), they were going to pay so we could stay safe and not be taking money out late at night in a brand new city. The cab driver ended up changing his mind about allowing a CC once we were on the phone with Manu's husband and we told him so. On top of all this, they had ordered pizza's for us to be delivered and they were waiting when we got there. Astounding hospitality!
The location is perfect, it is only slightly outside the historical centre and the spanish quarter (20 min walk), in a great area overlooking Napoli. If you want to eat and drink close by there is PLENTY to do in the vomero district.
The apartment itself is spotless with breathtaking views. Vesuvio you can see perfectly from the roof. They have all the accoutrements you could need. Brand new appliances. They have wonderful recommendations in a city with overwhelming options.
I could go on, but really all you need to know is that this is the place to stay in Napoli and when we come back it will be our very first choice. We got VERY lucky it was even available!
