We (family of four) spent a month here in July. We can’t say enough about the views and location of you want to experience living in Napoli. July was a hot month but bearable because of the many windows we could open (but had to deal with noise on the street and city dust). There were three fans that we used directly on us while sleeping. The patio with amazing views had a great shaded umbrella and cool shower. We had no problem with bugs, city birds, or other critters which I was initially worried about. The kitchen was well stocked but we didn’t want to cook at home much or turn on the hot stove/oven.
Location: it took us a while to understand all of our local amenities and transport options but they are plentiful. We recommend Bar Luciano on Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle for coffee and pastries each morning. Then run into the forneria or carrefour express for bread,cheese, meat, and other items you might want. The vegetable store nearby was also stocked with delicious items. The funicular was how we traveled mostly from the apartment (but avoid the trains on the half hour when they are only direct and don’t stop). Go to the top (Vomero neighborhood) for many options for dining (and gelato at casa infante or fantasia). Explore vomero, as it is rich with options including a beautiful park with views and the castle. Taking funicular down takes you to the hustle and bustle and tourist area on Toledo. This was great for street food, shopping, and accessing many other parts of the flatter part/waterfront city. You can also walk down:across from the funicular are steps that take you into the Chiaia area (access to the most expensive shops and nice cafes/restaurants). We also took the c16 bus along Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle if we wanted to access the train station that would take us to Lucrino- an area we went to for a nice beach club excursion. Besides the beach, we highly recommend Kayak Napoli and Naples Underground as day trip excursions. The apartment was clean and the beds comfortable enough. The bathroom has a chemical toilet that takes getting used to (all paper must go in waste bin not flushed). The interior is not very updated but you’ll want to stay here for location and views. Louisa was helpful if we needed her or in booking a taxi but took some time in replying. Enjoy coloring Naples and living in a real neighborhood away from other tourists!
