Paola is a great host. Arriving at her place felt like visiting a good old friend in a beautiful appartment in this amazing city. Although located directly at the Corso Vittorio Emanuele it is a quiet place since the appartment is oriented towards the inner courtyard - so you are in a different world once you leave the streetscape. You have a beautiful view of Vesuvio as well as the city leaving the house. It takes about 10 Minutes walking to the city center, the spanish quarter is even closer, up the hill towards the fortress you can take the funicular... » It is a super starting point for urban explorations. I had the chance to meet a friend who had an exhibition opening in Paola' gallery that night which is also close by. If you don't need to be right in the middle of the action and enjoy an amanzingly designed appartment with a fantastic library and interesting artworks - this is the place!
