I can’t say enough good things about my stay with Erminia. Erminia was a delightful hostess who knew how to balance my comfort with respecting my privacy. She made sure I knew about all of the amenities in her place—coffee and tea service in the room, extra blankets, how to open the blinds, etc.—while also respecting my privacy. She provided a transport service to her place when I arrived, and also called for a taxi for my very early departure and explained her location to the driver in great detail. Her guest apartment is very cozy, private, clean, and quiet.
The view from her apartment is STUNNING. It’s located on one of the hills that defines the city of Naples. That said, it’s about a 12 minute walk DOWN to get to the city itself, and a 15-20 minute walk UP to get to her place at the end of the day. You’ll have to plan your trips and errands in advance so that you don’t have to make an emergency errand, which is difficult to do from this location. It’s also a fairly lengthy walk to any public transportation, so I strongly suggest taking her planned transportation to and from the airport or train station. I wouldn’t advise her place if 1) you are in poor shape or have a health condition that makes exercise difficult, or 2) if you are hard of hearing, because that’s how I stayed safe and aware while going up and down these narrow roads. But the reward is an amazing view.
Erminia gave me a map to help me navigate the city, and also showed me from her balcony where everything was located. Additionally, I should mention that I arrived in Naples on a holiday when everything was closed, and she made sure I was comfortable and knew what was open.
Her cats are very friendly, an added bonus if you are an animal lover =^..^=
