We only met Marco and he lives in the building. We arrived before the check in time and he kindly let us leave our luggage and suggested we get pizza at Brandi's which was just around the corner. The pizza was delicious!

The apartment is newly remodeled with new floors, windows, fixtures and appliances. It has a bright, airy, clean feel to it. The bathrooms and showers are fantastic!

The master bedroom is large with window shutters that block out all light. The second bedroom is upstairs and had two twin beds in it for us. It has its own bath and TV. The two teenagers with us enjoyed hanging out up there.

The kitchen is very small and has very little counter space. This seems to be common in Italy. Marco stocked it with milk, juice and water. There was coffee and sugar. The best part was a homemade cake. It was delicious!

The only drawback is that there was no place for us all to gather. The bigger of the two common rooms has two small tables for dining. It would be nice if they could figure a way to include a couch and chair. That being said, we didn't spend much time in the apartment.

We were able to wash our clothes here and hang them outside to dry. We walked to the ferry and to the metro.

I'm not familiar with Napoli and can't compare this neighborhood to others. We were close to pedestrian streets, restaurants, bakeries, shops and there was a mini mart next door. The traffic was crazy. I would find it nervewracking with little ones.

We really enjoyed staying here. We would return. I recommend it.
