Stefania was a wonderful and solicitous host, making us feel welcome, being available to answer any questions about the apartment or the city, and providing information on places to visit, restaurants, and getting around. Her place is comfortable, quiet, and unique in the sense that it is like a rural getaway in the middle of a bustling city. I soon got used to the long slow climb up the 80+ steps of the little vico to get to the apartment, (Naples is after all a very hilly city), a part of the overall experience of this city of contrasts, extraordinary beauty, and intense human interaction all around.
