Franchesco's apartment is immaculate; it's very spacious, so newly renovated it smells new! It looks better than in the pictures. All the appliances are new and of very high quality. For the price point, it was excellent value. We were only my husband and I but Franchesco very kindly gave us a choice of which room we would like. The bed is firm and comfortable, the heating is very good. The shower has very good water pressure and heated towel racks are a bonus. The KITCHEN is amazing - perfect to cook up a gourmet meal. Franchesco had italian coffee and a selection of gorgeous herbal teas. The amenities in the apartment were as described. Fantastic Wifi and cable TV. Across the road there is a very good supermarket called SIMPLY - very good produce and great value. Downstairs opposite the apartment is an excellent neapolitan bakery and cafe - delicious pastries and excellent coffee. The Metro station is SAN GIOVANNI BARRA on Metro Line 2. Franchesco and his friend Marta met us on the platform and showed us the way which was very handy. Its about 12 minutes and 2 stops from piazza Garibaldi station. It's a great place to base yourself if you're a large group (say 4 to 8 pax) and want all your creature comforts. While it's very close to the station and the pathway is very well lit; it's not convenient to eat out in the area. There were no restaurants open on Sunday at 7pm when we came back from the city and the supermarket had shut by then; there were also no convenience stores open; just a few expresso/tobbaco shops were open; so if you would like to cook a meal, shop in the morning as we were intending to cook up a feast and sip grappa in the comforts of apartment. There is a burger and takeaway joint GONZALOS (they cook to order and was very well patronised) about 10 minute walk away but that appears to be all that was open on a Sunday evening. It may not be the case on another night. Franchesco was very responsive to our queries and provided a lot of information on the metro stations and timings. We only used a taxi once as the show we watched finished after the metro had finished for the night. Great place if you're a group, a little under utilised for just 2.
