Sal came to collect us from the place round the corner our taxi driver had directed us to, it happens a lot apparently! Fortunately Sal is very quick to respond to messages and lives below the apartment so it wasn’t a problem. We followed Sal - whom we can only imagine living a life filled with parties, music, philosophy and beautiful people -through a marvellous door and up in a small lift to Sal’s place initially - utterly fabulous! Then upstairs to our place for the next few days, which was spacious, clean, wonderfully eclectic in taste and very comfortable. There is a double bed with lots of extra bedding in the cupboards should you need it, and a large sofa that constitutes the third bed, it’s not a sofa bed as such but was perfectly comfortable. The views from the apartment are just incredible but having access to the roof terrace is the cherry on the cake. It is outside the apartment and shared with others, but we had it to ourselves when we stayed. The apartment is really central, within walking distance of all the main things you might want to see, like the incredible archaeological museum and the port for trips by ferry to nearby islands (don’t miss Procida, a quiet and often over-looked little gem), with a subway station about 7 mins away for getting to the central train station (about 10 mins on the subway). There is also a world-renowned pizza place about 2 mins away called Starita, and its reputation is thoroughly deserved! Sophia Loren is the very glamorous connection between this pizza place and Sal’s, another little detail we loved about our stay! We loved the dark beauty of Naples and even got used to the Neapolitan method of crossing the crazy roads in the end! We’ll definitely be coming back to Sal’s place when we return.
