My wife and I stayed at Anna’s place for the month of September. The two bedrooms and two baths made it convenient for two of our friends to visit over separate weeks.
The apartment living space is large enough for 4 adults to gather comfortably to talk, watch TV, enjoy cheese with bread/crackers and of course wine.
The division of the bedrooms, each with on suites, provides privacy after a busy day of togetherness. The upstairs, guest quarters even offers a living area for more separation if desired.
The outdoor private patio area is perfect for drinking coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. There is even a Weber grill for barbequing. The patio overlooks the interior of the apartment complex, so no real “views” or people watching.
However, the good news of the interior facing patio and more interestingly windows is NO noise, so sleeping is great.
The beds are comfortable, a little hard but easy to get use to after a night or two.
Showers are great. Great water pressure and lots, lots of hot water.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances and utensils. We never cooked in the apartment as we ate a big lunch out and snacked on wine and cheese or got a pizza at night.
The private elevator is convenient – as even walking down is a bit of a workout. Not too fast but you learn to appreciate its benefit really fast.
The garage is a cost saver but it is critical to have a compact car. You need to make a 90-degree turn into the garage and small is all that can make it. We had a Renault Cleo and it was manageable. Once you get into the garage, its humongous.
Location was great. Less than 5 minutes to Duomo Church, 15 minutes to a big Carrefour Market (5 minutes to a small critical needs market), a few minutes to the cobble stone street of shops and restaurants, and all the joys of Old Town. A 10-minute walk to a nifty Wine Store and 15-25 minutes to the Metro depending which station you select. The 25-minute walk to Dante Station takes you through all the shops and other goodies. The Metro takes you to all the other sights of Napoli. The main train station is a 15 walk and from here you can catch trains to Rome, Pompeii and elsewhere. Taxis are easy to catch outside the apartment and you can reach anywhere of interest for less that 10€.
Anna’s place is a gem and all the pictures are representative of the apartment.
However, the biggest gem is Anna herself. Always available with insight on guides, places to see, restaurants to frequent and anything you might need.
