Our friend lives outside of Naples and not knowing Naples at all, we gave her 4 Airbnb apartments to choose from; she told us to pick Rosaria's apartment (she thought the neighborhood was the best of the 4) and we are glad she did.

First of all Rosaria had told us that a taxi from the airport would cost us 16 euros and not to get into the cab until the driver gave us a receipt for this price. The driver insisted that the ride would cost us 25 euros. Being from New York, I still thought it was a good price and we decided to pay it. I called Rosaria from the taxi and when she heard the price she told me to put the driver on the phone, bref (as we say in French), we paid 16 and the driver was cursing Rosaria all the way to the apartment! It was like someone in Naples was watching out for you;

Next was Rosaria's welcome, introducing us to several business owners, giving us advice about restaurants etc; explaining some of the highlights of Naples. She really went out of her way.

The neighborhood was perfect for us, right in the heart of Naples in a lively quarter with restaurants, music and people eating outside. The apartment itself was also nice, our 2 girls slept in the upstairs loft and were really excited and having a terrace was a real treat. We didn't end up cooking a full meal, but if you need to the kitchen was definitely equipped.
