Lovely, spacious flat in a lively local neighborhood. Safe building, nice neighbors. Convenient to all sorts of wonderful restaurants and food and clothing shops. A short walk to the Archeological Museum, Via Tribunali, and public transport stations.
Great communication with the host. Very friendly, too. And easy check-in and check-out.
Sanità is a really interesting neighborhood to explore. The people are lovely. We ate in many excellent restaurants, and the staff in all of them were so friendly. They asked our names and actually remembered us when we returned or said hello to us by name as we passed by. This was true of the local grocery shop (Carrefour) as well.
The apartment is near the top of a slightly hilly street. On Sunday mornings, the air is filled with the sound of church bells and happy conversation and the aromas of festive family dinners being prepared.
It’s generally very quiet at night. It’s actually surprising how neighborhood-y and peaceful it is, being so close to Via Foria, a busy street. It’s got an old fashioned community feeling: ladies hanging out their laundry, friends and family spending time with each other, strangers wishing each other a good day/evening as you pass... One super cute thing is if you get a chance to see a housewife lowering her blue bucket on a rope from her balcony to a waiting delivery man below. She sends down payment, he deposits her eggs and bread, etc., in the bucket and then she hoists it back up. Very sweet!
Naples is a very intense and interesting city, and staying in this apartment gives you a real local feel while being quiet enough to allow you to relax and recharge.
