The hosts were very welcoming, and we got on fine despite us not speaking any Italian and Leopoldo not speaking much English. It was especially nice of them to provide a selection of fruit and fridge essentials like milk, fruit juice and yoghurt -- this saved urgent shopping on the day of our arrival.

The apartment is indeed very well located for sightseeing in Naples, overlooking the Piazza Plebiscito and within walking distance of a number of landmarks as well as the sea and both local markets and supermarkets. We were very pleased with the ready access to the city. It should be noted however that the apartment is on the 5th floor of a building, and the lift in the complex requires 10 cent pieces if you want to avoid the stairs.

While a few walls might be scuffed, the facilities in the apartment were all perfectly fine, air conditioning being particularly appreciated in the August heat. The kitchen is rather small, with no grill or oven, but that's no trouble for a short stint of self-catering.
