Staying in Paola's apartment was wonderful. The pictures do little to convey just how spacious and beautifully decorated the house is.

Paola was a fantastic host and was nice enough to give us a quick tour in her car around the area when we first arrived, pointing out local markets and pizzerias. During the week she even checked up on us via email, asking if we needed anything. She gave us advice on where to go in Naples, what to see and how to get there.

The location of the apartment is great, a little out of the city it was a short 10 minute walk to a Metro and the same distance to Via Chiaia, a lovely street where we found nice clothes shops and Ristorante Brandi, where you can taste a Margherita Pizza in the place where it was invented. There were also nice little cafes a short walk from the apartment where we could get fresh pastries and drink espressos at the counter, as the locals do.

It was a great base to have as we spent most of the days travelling to Pompei, Capri and the surrounding areas and it was nice to come back to such a homely apartment after spending the day walking.

All in all, our stay in Naples was brilliant and I would recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of travelling to the city. Just be sure to look both ways when walking around the narrow streets as the mopeds are as energetic as the Italians themselves.
