My stay took place off season (in early December), and I came to Naples for work. So I didn't get a chance to take advantage of the many great sites and shops and restaurants in walking distance of the apartment. Nevertheless, I loved the apartment and the location and I would definitely return, for example during the summer and for tourism, not work. Paola's mom Elena was a fantastic, attentive host. Naples is a lively and therefore sometimes noisy city, but the apartment is on a cul de sac, very out of the way, and very quiet (for those who value this feature highly). For shopping enthusiasts, the apartment is a 5 minute walk (via public elevator) from the amazing Via Chiaia pedestrian shopping strip. In the other direction, a 5-minute walk gets you to the funicular which takes you up to the Castel Sant'Elmo with amazing views of the city and surrounding bay. In short, I highly recommend this rental.
