Excellent location and excellent value. Great communication with Lorenzo and Gabriella, professional and warm in-house staff (cleaner and building manager). Met Lorenzo and he was very helpful and kind. Owners who care about guests and are very proactive. We liked it so much that we booked it twice! Once on our way to Palermo, and the second time on our way back to Rome.
Literally across road from Napoli Centrale main train station. The spacious apartments are like modern luxury hotels - clean contemporary design, amenities and furniture. It has everything.
We arrived late in the evening, so the easy self-check-in was a great relief. The instructions and method are very secure and very easy. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find tea and biscuits on the kitchen table and cold water in the fridge. The hot showers have great water pressure and it was spotlessly clean. It was a nice convenience to have body wash, shampoo and conditioner all on-hand in the shower.
The furniture is a beautiful Italian design. Mid-Century with a contemporary warmth. Clean lines and still comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. I had to work remotely and the wifi was great, too.
The area is busy and bustling, as with any central train station in any capital city. I have seen the same in NYC, Sydney and Paris, and this area is no different.
I have to reassure potential guests of this point. It is very safe. The area is always busy with locals on their commute or waiting for the bus, the cafe next door, grocery store next door so we actually felt safer precisely because it is always busy. It was wonderful seeing these diverse people (Italian, Asian, African) interact with each other, all speaking Italian. They all know each other and because of this, it felt more like a community and therefore, safer than most anonymous streets. My mum and I would not hesitate to stay here again.
There are abundant food choices including Conad supermarket in the train station if you want to eat inside the apartment. Also, highly recommend the small pizzeria around the corner (to the right of the apartment) called "O surdato 'nnammurato". Excellent street food, but also eat-in/takeaway pizza and pasta. Friendly and honest staff, reasonable prices.
Lorenzo's apartment was the perfect base for exploring Naples, day trips to Pompeii, Positano, Sorento, Pashtun etc. It was also a comfortable and relaxed departure to walk across the road to our long train journey to Rome/ to Palermo. Very convenient location and excellent value.
