It’s in a very interesting area, near the Cavour & Museo stations and local attractions and the street is through and to the right of Porta S Gennaro. there is a lady who often sits outside and watches the world go by. She is friendly and knows Marco. There is a carpenter around the corner called Luigi who works in a former chapel. That is part of hidden Napoli. He also knows Marco. You can shop over on the other side of via Cavour in via dei Virgini and Sanità. There are also shops on Cavour. The best pizza Italy in this area. It is Michelin starred. I was amazed how cheap it was. You any need to wait. I will leave that for you to discover. There is a supermarket opening up in the street that leads down from Limoncello. If you keep going, you will eventually meet via Tribunali and most of the major monuments and too many tourists. But don’t miss going to the Complesso di Donna Regina which is closer to the apartment. This is really 4 churches/chapels and a museum. There are amazing frescoes but you need to go upstairs.. just check the hours of opening and there are concerts as well. No one visits. . There are some remains of the Roman Circus accessed through a presepe shop down the street but I never worked out how to do it. I think it only takes groups. Also, don’t miss the amazing Caravaggio in the Pio Monte di Misericorde as well as all the others in this city.
The area around Limoncello is definitely changing with more and more tourists staying, but there are still plenty of locals. Watch out for zooming motorbikes. They do not stop. Many many don’t know English but is very much an local working class neighbourhood. with Bangladeshi / Sri Lankan shops near the Porta. It isn’t to noisy in the little courtyard except when the neighbours kids were screaming. I felt very safe, I always said buongiorno to people but I speak Italian. Some of them really only speak Neapolitan. There is a nice barber at the top of the Porta at right angles to the shops and the statue of Padre Pio. Try to visit the church if it is open.
The only downside torbe apt is that the aircon is very weak and I was hot. I bought a little chargeableUSB fan which saved my life at night. There is also some musty smell . Run the dehumidifier a lot and it helps but air the place out. The door needs some oil. There is a tiny balcony. Watch the world go by.
For two people, if you intend to be out and about a lot, it’s fine. And there is a washing machine. All the other basics for snacking, storing food, making coffee are there up skinny stairs. Hang up towels to dry.
On a budget, it is fine. I was there for two weeks, busy with many things. Wireless is fine. Marco is responsive to everything though I didn’t meet him.
