Federica is a very warm and generous hostess. Our stay with her in late March was only for two nights; but, as these were our first nights in Europe, her welcome helped introduce us to Napoli. She left detail instructions about the room and the sights near by. She also had directions and recommendations for restaurants around the area. Federica is also very humble about her English skills.

She took us through the apartment and then her apartment where the break fast room was. Explaining the details. The next morning we were treated to an impressive spread. Fresh baked pastries from the corner store, coffee, hot milk, teas, honey, a waffle short bread, assortment of jams, cocoa powder, corn flakes, assorted fruit, and probably more that I am forgetting about.

The flat that you are staying is small; but, you aren't staying in Napoli to be cooped up in a room. However, its no smaller than a typical European hotel room. Federica also left us some pasta, sauce, olive oil, teas, and all the utensils in the room as well. She called it her "emergency kit" and welcomed us to use them if we felt up to it. We did take advantage of the pasta to add a side to food we brought to the room.

Her flat is in a great location to be able to walk along the sea side and visit the Galleria, Opera, both castles, easy to get to the port to catch a ferry or the hydrofoil. The metro is about a 10-15 walk North. This made it easy to catch the Circumvesuviana (Chir-kim-ves-oo-viana) to visit Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Sorrento. Also there is a TIM phone store just around the corner or a Vodafone store not far down the next street over to buy a prepaid phone or a sim card if your phone is unlocked.

If we return to Napoli in the future, this will be my first choice to stay.
