It has a fantastic view of the city 360 degrees and view of my Mt Versivius and waking up early to catch the sunrise was amazing.
PLS READ CAREFULLY WHAT IS INCLUDED and WHAT NOT especially the 123 STEPS to climb to reach Paola’s House. Not so steep but climbing to the top of the building can make you breathless especially if you have heavy luggage. NOT Ideal if you have heavy luggage and with the kids. Grocery probably needs to be done all at once because once you are up in the room you don’t want to go back down and walk up 123 steps again to reach the apartment.
Only one Toilet and shower and is located in one room so if the other room need a toilet at night.. the couple staying in the room where the toilets are will NOT have privacy due to shared shower and toilet which is inside the room. Ideal for one family sharing but probably not everyone’s cup of tea getting in the toilet at night in the room where someone is sleeping.
Indeed it is a historical area but we went for day tours for 2 days so we did not have the chance to look around nearby museums.
Its walkable to nearest metro. Dante. Each way to Centrale train station only 1.10 Euro- not bad compared to U.K. transport fares . We did not use buses so I don’t know how accessible is from Paola’s place.
If you a book a taxi to airport you have to call and it’s a PREMIUM number so you will be charge a little bit. Paola did help me with taxi numbers and fix price going to her house or airport but you have to be firm. Taxis that we took asked more than fix price so it’s worth asking first before getting in.
There is NO WASHING MACHINE as stated but you can hand wash if you are short of clothes and hang it on the roof top.. September was still warm so the clothes dried easily when hanged overnight.
Paola has grill at the roof top but I don’t know if you could use it.
We went to tour Pompie and Mt Versivius- pompie was amazing with and amazing tour guide Eliza but NOT Versivius as we were rushed to go down which I have not rested/enjoyed the view/ took pictures and were ushered to go back down. One alpine man name Leno was very rude and intimidating. The tour guide could have warned us about the time that you have to descend. It was even very cloudy day so could not see a good view of Naples and Sorrento at the summit of the volcano. Next day Capri tour was fantastic!
