I spent three weeks in Vincenzo's apartment. It is exactly as described in the pictures and information provided. Situated on the third floor of an important Palazzo it is firstly very secure ( deadlocked front door, a further inner security door and a full time porter on duty during the day ) Secondly the apartment itself is palatial, very high ceilings, elegantly furnished and decorated yet comfortable. Very good air-conditioning in the bedrooms, excellent water pressure in the bathrooms, good wi fi and a kitchen with everything you need ( although why you would bother cooking in Naples is beyond me, brilliant food served everywhere ) the washing machine and huge laundry room was a Godsend and the weekly linen change appreciated. Great bed and really good sheets! Thirdly, the area. On the Piazza Trieste e Trento you overlook more Neapolitan icons than you can poke a stick at. The views from the balcony are extraordinary. It's lively but once I drew the shutters at night I slept soundly.
Naples is a remarkable city. It has been ( unfairly in my view ) maligned as dangerous, unscrupulous even. In the three weeks I was there I walked from one end of the bay to the other and everywhere in between. Never once did I feel unsafe, the citizens are matter of fact, gruff even but have enormous "heart". I am already planning to return and when I do Vincenzo's apartment is where I will be staying.
