We loved staying at Lucia’s place in Napoli, it is in the perfect location. If one stayed anywhere else in Napoli, it seemed to us that you would be travelling to come to the area that Lucia’s place is right in the middle of. Communicating and meeting up with Lucia was smooth. She explained the place, and cheerfully gave us good insights into the local area. Place was beautifully redone, very clean. It has a loft with one bedroom, and another set of stairs going up to the bathroom. Place is just as nice as the photos portray, washing machine was very handy. The bathroom is lovely, well-stocked with supplies, with a huge tub, the only tub we have seen on our month-long trip. Both sets of stairs are very nice, but one needs to be careful going up and down. We are three people in our late 60’s, and the stairs were no problem. The apartment itself is up one short flight of stairs from a courtyard. Beautiful high ceilings, and lovely art in the place. The apartment is in a building facing a courtyard off a narrow alley. Occasionally one could hear people walking down the alley or in the courtyard, but this is a fact of life with a big city, and stone everywhere. In general the noise level was quite acceptable. An exception was one day when some maintenance construction was going on next door, however the workmen were fun and nice. This work is ongoing in all Italy’s aging cities, and is unpredictable as to when it happens. Contrary to what is heard sometimes about Napoli, and we felt totally secure at all times in Napoli, even walking around at night. The only time we felt a little nervous was in the Porta Nolana market at mid-day, not a feeling of danger, just that everyone was very conscious of our presence, and what we were doing, one just needed to be alert. Lots of good restaurants, reasonably priced, and a good grocery store nearby the apartment. Booking and meeting-up process with Lucia was smooth and easy. We would recommend Lucia’s place to friends for sure.
