Excellent location from which to explore the old city! Easy walking access to many historical landmarks, restaurants, street vendors, retail shopping, and more. An old building with high steps, as described, but many buildings in Italy are walk-ups, so not that unusual. Automobile access stops a couple of blocks away, so be prepared to bring luggage by hand up the hilly street, but Stefania and Alessandro are very helpful and friendly! Compact space, best for a single or couple, but very clean, modern apartment. Would definitely return when in Napoli!
