The apartment is in an listed building right in heart of the bustling small lanes of historic Naples, a thriving community of craft workshops, restaurants, cafes and small family run shops that serve the local community, mixed in with tourist souvenirs. There is a grocery store to the right of the apartment building and a lovely friendly baker a few steps further on to the left in the next street who speaks a little English!
It is the perfect location for exploring all the churches (...there are many!!) and the museums, all within walking distance. Do not miss a chance to visit the the Royal palace and the museum at Capodimonte plus take the tour of the splendid opera house.. we managed to catch a performance ...not a bad seat in the theatre. The street where they make and sell all the figures for the Nativity is amazing and will delight both adults and children.
Giulia is a wonderful host who welcomed us on arrival and spent at least an hour explaining the highlights and hidden treasures of Naples, supplied us with a lot of useful tourist info as well as recommendations for good eateries. The apartment is spacious and nicely furnished with high ceilings and plenty of light. Very quiet at night and a locked courtyard with a vigilant doorman makes it a safe stay . A well equipped kitchen and for those who like to cook two of the best saucepans I have ever seen ...!!
