First of all, communication with Angela and Alessandro was always flawless: they often asked how we were doing, provided us with useful tips, were always very easy and quick to reach without ever disturbing. Before our arrival, they had even offered us to pick us up at the airport, which made everything a lot easier for us. Alessandro told us a lot about the city and life there during the care ride. He was extremely friendly and showed real care of us.
The apartment looks just like it does in the pictures: it is very trendy, well-decorated, has a nice bed and looks like it can come right out of an interior catalogue! Again, our welcome was made even more enjoyable by Angela and Alessandro providing us with some fruit and drinks in the fridge. We were there in mid-June, which was an extremely hot period. This meant it could become very hot inside, but luckily there is an air conditioner which came in very handy to cool down the bedroom.
As our friendly hosts already explained, Naples is a very lively city, with buzzing activity and lots of noises all the time. If you are not used to this, it can come as quite a shock. Beware that you can still hear the traffic when inside the apartment, however this is normal for this part of town, as it in the very middle of the old centre.
Should you want to wind down for a while, you can always visit the more remote areas of Naples (such as the coastline). For this, we had to take a metro or bus, which took us about 40 minutes (this includes walking to the station). But, as mentioned before, this is the real Naples experience. In the area around the apartment, there are lots of shops, restaurants, an old and charming marketplace where you can find most things (e.g. food, clothes, ...). If you want to take a longer trip, the central train station of Naples is also only about a 15-20 minutes walk.
As we left the apartment, our hosts had intended to come say goodbye to us, but sadly they were stuck in traffic. However, we did communicate afterwards via WhatsApp, and they were still friendly as ever.
In short, if you want to experience the true Naples, this apartment offers you a nice place to come home to, in the old city centre with relatively easy connections to public transportation. If you decide to stay here, you will be welcomed by some of the most friendly and enthusiastic hosts we've ever met!
