This is a lovely spacious apartment in the most interesting part of old Naples. It's five floors up - 128 steps - so not for anyone averse to climbing stairs, but the view from the little balcony stretches over the rooftops and out to Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples, and the fact that the apartment is so high up means that it's relatively quiet, though sounds do drift up from the street below. In the street itself there's a lovely old gelaterie, Gay Odin, and indeed it struck us that if you were to tunnel down five floors from the apartment you might well end up by the ice-cream.
