First off, Allesandro is a sweetheart. We had an early flight in and he let us come into the apartment early, which saved our jet lagged selves from having to wander around unknown streets for hours waiting to check in. Huge thanks. To be totally honest, this is not a chic neighborhood, but it's a lot nicer than a first impression might give. The apartment is in a really old building and Allesandro and his brother fixed it up and restored it. Everything works fine. The bedroom has a queen size bed and a bunk bed that fits 2. We used the living room couch as our third bed.
It's a 10 minute walk to Spacca Napoli and all the fun street food places, another 10-15 minutes to the ferry to Capri, and the train to Pompeii. The only negative is their is no elevator, and the walk up is long one, but other than that it is a very nice place classic Naples old-school apartment run by great people.
Naples is a big, sloppy blowzy type of lady: a good time without all the high end bells and whistles. If you're willing to give it a chance I can almost guaratee you will come away with a soft spot in your heart for her.
