Sabina 's place is really something else. It is a quite large apartment with unique architecture, placed at 4th and last floor of a very old and impressive building. However, it is renovated completely with not one but two air conditioning, and you will feel very comfortable there. IT has 2 bathrooms, one large bedroom, common space attached to kitchen and an additional upper deck that doubles as another room. It also has two balconies, but they are more there for drying clothes than for hanging out. Location is shocking - you are right at via Chiaia, one of the busiest streets for tourist and shopping enthusiasts and so close to via Toledo, and just few hundred meters from gallery Umberto Primo! Apartment is perfect, I just want to share my observation that actually is more towards the surrounding and full immersion into Napoli and area, because you will probably want to see Pompeii, Amalfi, Ischia... Getting there might be a bit complicated.
There are no markets near by, and I found that odd, because we were in a agricultural area, I hoped I would go and find fresh vegetables and fruit everywhere, maybe even fish, but that was not a case. At the end we shopped in Franprix, as we do back home. Restaurants are everywhere, but rarely good. Metro was not working, buses are never by schedule, there is a lot of issues with logistics of that city. Just throwing garbage demands planning. There is no way to get any info on basic things - like where to buy tickets for local transportation, what is required to get to certain touristic places, when are most of them closed for day off, and so on... And those things change all the time. I have to admit, I didn't like Naples at all. But that has nothing to do with apartment. However, if you are looking for immersion experience into local culture, and if you expect a lot of contact with the host, this is probably not the right place for you. Sabina was great but we didn't see her, and that was something that suited us just fine. There was plenty of books in the apartment, most of them in Italian, so I find that interesting touch. There are many paintings too, but apartment is so large that you will not get really that feeling. The really great thing was a ceiling window decorated by painted glass, it gave us such a lovely light trough the day. However, do not expect any view to the sea or something like that. You have one very small balcony attached to one of the bathrooms (with weaker water pressure) that you probably wont use. The second balcony is a bit narrow and looks into inner courtyard, into other apartments facing it very closely, so it was not very inviting either - but we didn't mind it at all. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in an amazing apartment!!
