Marianna's appartment is in the Mercato area of Naples. Close to Napoli Centrale rail station and Metro stations, also within walking distance of the Port Ferry and Cruise Terminals. The area is also very close to the shopping on Casa Umberto I, good for clothes shopping and accessories at both ends of the price scale. The local area is within the boundary of the historical area and places interest are not far, and the hop on hop off sightseeing bus, for both Line A and B is worth taking to find out a bit more about the city. There are a number of exceptional pizzerias local, D'Angeli and Da Michele, as well as Casa Tua Al Duomo. However, care should be taken when out walking of an evening, the Neopolitans do like to ride their motorcycles and scooters on the pavement, personal security should always be looked after when in any of the Italian cities.
That said, the area around the appartment might look a bit grubby, but the appartment itself is stylish, comfortable and secure, ideal for a few days in Naples. We are a family of 4, two teenage daughters, and we had no issues during our stay, on fact one o the highlights was the shopping and the food. We spent 4 days in Naples, came in by train from Rome, leaving by Ferry to Palermo We used the left luggage at the train station for convenience on our last day, to take a taxi down to the Port terminal. Also, don't follow google maps direction to the appartment, you can walk directly out of the train station to Casa Umberto I, and the appartment is barely 200m from the start of Cass Umberto I. All in all a great place to stay for a few days in Naples.
