Francesco’s place is in a perfect location for exploring Napoli and the bay. Only a short walk from Mergellina train station and close to some excellent restaurants and cafes - Sud for pizza (and best gluten free pizza you’ll ever have), Vittorio for coffee and snacks, and Vi Vi for a drink and huge selection of tapas. You can walk to Spaccanapoli in about 35 mins or better take the train as it’s only ten minutes to Montesanto.
The apartment was spacious, clean and well kitted out with everything you need plus had a stunning view of the city and Vesuvio. There a few nice touches in the apartment with pictures of old Napoli and some great rustic furniture Francesco has designed and built himself.
Francesco was a fantastic host - he met us at the apartment and was very hospitable. He was able to give us a list of places to visit and details for every conceivable eventuality. The apartment is very secure with a 24 hr concierge so no issues whatsoever. If you have any problems Francesco is easily contactable and, like everyone from Napoli, is very friendly and happy to help.
