The apartment and the location are great, and the palazzo is impressive. Paola (Francesco's mother) was very welcoming. She provided good advice on what to see and where to eat in Naples, booked a taxi for us, and was generally helpful and charming. However a more user-friendly kitchen (supplied with basic staples, normal-sized plates, etc.) and above all a well-functioning bathroom would have been nice. When I mentioned that the shower arm was leaking and that the water flow was insufficient, the only reply I got was that previous guests had not mentioned this problem. Maybe these are trivial details that should be overlooked when one is hosted by a princess in a beautiful cinquecento palazzo. Or maybe this should be fixed, especially in view of the high price.
