Everything that everyone said about Davide and his place is all true. Our last two days of six weeks trip in Italy we spent in his apartment. We were a bit skeptical at first because these two days were the only ones when we did not have the entire apartment to ourselves. But it turned out to be even better. Davide is an intelligent person and we really enjoyed our few conversations with him. As he said, the bedroom is small but you have a living area with comfortable couch, a big table, and the entrance to the backyard all for yourself. The apartment is very clean. He cooks and hence the kitchen is well equipped but even a cooking maniac like me did not want to cook while in Naples. Great, local food, cooked by local people are all around this neighborhood. Naples is a fascinating city with the touristy downtown and neighborhoods like this one where solid, working class people live and work. Of course the more chic neighborhoods are there as well. We enjoyed staying in a Pallazo with so much character where every exposed brick and every covered stone speak history. His own apartment used to belong to his uncle's uncle who was a physician and hence the statue of Mercury in the front (Mercury is a God of Medicine). The garden is on top of an arch below which there is another apartment where other people live. It is simply fascinating to be surrounded by so much history. No wonder the Italians are so much more easy going and less demanding than us Americans who need so much "stuff" to relax instead of just socializing with a real cup of coffee and emotional discussions. While we were just enjoying the solitude in the garden, a Calico cat jumped up to my husband's lap and made himself totally comfortable for the next 45 minutes, purring most of the time. No, he did not come inside. We love animals. This was an added pleasure. Although the street in front of the building is very busy, and noisy, his apartment is on the back side and it is sooooo quiet. The best pizza we ever had came from a neighborhood Pizzaria. Great sweets, fresh fruit and the National Archeological Museum are all around the corner. What a great place!!! Our stay was way too short. Got to go back.
