Massimo’s place is an excellent choice if you’re staying in Naples. The apartment is very stylish and definitely offers something different. The place was clean, we could keep it cool with the AC and the bathroom & kitchen had everything you’d need.
In terms of location, at first Naples does take you by surprise (it is very busy and noisy) but the apartment is in a great location near Cavour metro station (to get to the center) and when you’re in the space you cannot hear all the street noise!
The area has plenty to offer. Supermarkets, bakery, cafes and restaurants. We would recommend Januarius (lots of yummy local dishes) that is only a 10 minute walk away. There is also an award winning dessert place down the road called ‘Pasticceria Poppella’. Further down you can expect a large market crowd with lots of different products from fruit & veg to clothing. Within Naples we enjoyed visiting the ‘EVO50 Pizzeria’ and ‘Antonio & Antonio’ down by the Santa Lucia front (highly recommended to visit there!)
Overall Massimo was an excellent host and gave us plenty of advice, especially with transport (we wanted to visit Sorrento one day) and even helped us order a taxi to the airport home. Thank you for your hospitality and letting us stay in your wonderful space! Grazie!!
