I cannot fault Fabrizio whatsoever. And I can’t really fault the apartment either.
I had a wonderful stay for over three weeks. I wish that I was back there already!
Fabrizio was wonderful, and very doting throughout. I had a small issue with the Wi-Fi, and Fabrizio instantly came the next day to fix it! Thank you!
Fabrizio also has some very good recommendations of local restaurants.
Whilst I was there I took good advantage of the apartment, there is a working hob and and oven, so if you like to shop for local produce in the outerlying food markets, you can utilise everthying there. Lots of pots and pans etc. It is pretty much in the old part of the city. But Naples is very much a walking city, so nearly everything is accessible on foot.
It would be perfect for a couple, or a family with two small children.
For the fellow Britons who are wondering, yes there is a kettle. Don’t worry, you can have your tea in the morning!
The apartment itself is lovely. It is ‘cozy’ - meaning sort of small (as are most Neapolitan apartments), but because of its central location, you won’t find yourself wanting to spend too much time there. It is perfectly located. After spending three weeks there, I wouldn’t have chosen a different location.
If you want to have a lazy day, the Botanical Gardens is about a 15-minute walk along the main road.
The apartment actually exists inside a family home, but don’t let that put you off too much. It is a self-contained apartment - i.e. you have your own key, and the apartment is all yours. I bumped into the family a couple of times, and they are really lovely and very friendly!
There is a delightful little “private” open space inside the apartment, which is lovely, especially in the evenings. As it enclosed, this open space doesn’t have much sunlight (as I was hoping), and you are on view to all the neighbours, but nevertheless it is still a fantastic feature to have! A good place to enjoy your breakfast before going to tackle the labyrith of Naples each morning.
If you have any walking disabilities, this apartment is not for you, due to the staircase inside the apartment.
Otherwise, I cannot recommend this apartment enough. You will have a lovely time, especially because Fabrizio is so particular about making your stay perfect.
Thank you Fabrizio! Grazie mille! Thank you for all your help! I will be back soon.
