If you want to experience what Naples is all about then I would recommend staying at Marcos place. You get to experience life as a local. The apartment is well located within walking distance of the old town (it is also only a 10 minute walk to the ferry to Capri). The room is very safe and secure. There is a coffee shop beneath the apartment and a grocery store 2 minutes away (local prices not tourist prices).
I would like to commend Marco on his attentiveness and excellent communication. He honestly could not have been any better. Marco is a genuine, sincere and very helpful person. We had arranged pickup with him at the airport for a very reasonable rate. Marco gave us precise directions (including photos!) and was waiting to greet us as planned. (An additional wonderful touch was his gift of delicious Italian pastries). On arrival at the apartment Marco took lots of time to show us around and make us familiar with everything. He gave us tons of recommendations and tips on the best places to eat etc. The apartment is exactly as described.. spotlessly clean, very well equipped with extras such as toothbrushes and toothpaste! (I have stayed in a number of Airbnb’s before and have never experienced this). There was a lovely bottle of red wine awaiting us too! As mentioned in other reviews, there are approximately 70 steps up to the apartment, but as long as you are fairly fit this shouldn’t be an issue...we welcomed the exercise due to all the extra pizza and wine! There is a washing machine with detergent provided and also an excellent hairdryer. I am a very light sleeper and needed earplugs at night...so bring them just in case.
Thank you Marco.. you are one in a million.
