A light an airy apartment, wonderfully situated near the Via Toledo, a couple of minutes walk from Piazza Dante, this apartment provided a perfect base.
We used their recommended taxi service, were met at the airport and taken directly to the road where we were met by the friendly and helpful Flavia. To get there by public transport from the airport would be easy: €5 for the bus to Garibaldi Station and €1.10 for Metro Line 1 from Garibaldi to Dante. Then walk p the hill on the other side of the road for about 50 metres, if that. Whilst Via Toledo is quite manic with activity, the apartment is on a quiet courtyard behind a wooden gate. The road off which it lies has a butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer and little grocery shop. A supermarket was a quick walk away.
Maria and Flavia had exceeded the minimum requirements for the apartment. Some basic foods (including fresh coffee for the moka pot!) were provided, including a bowl of sweets and a 2l bottle of water. There is also a washing line and clothes pegs to dry laundry.
Occasionally, the owner's two cats came to say hello. We like cats so were happy to see them.
From seeing Italian apartments on television, I have really wanted to open the tall, thick door onto the wide, stone staircase and open the floor length window/door onto a marble balcony. By staying here, I was able to do this! My husband however was not so keen on the marble balcony; we were quite high up.
In short, this apartment provided a wonderful, comfortable base from which to explore Naples and the surrounding area at a great price.
