This was our first experience of booking an apartment through Airbnb and we were delighted with it. Maria Rosaria was a lovely hostess who had good communication before we arrived and met us at the apartment at the agreed time. She made us feel very welcome and explained everything clearly. As a finishing touch, she even left us a small bottle of her homemade limoncello (which was delicious) and some basic food (bread, butter, jam, pastries etc) so you don't have to worry about the first day's breakfast. When leaving (with a train to catch), Maria Rosaria arranged for a friend to meet us to collect the keys and they turned up at exactly the time promised.

The apartment itself was superb. It is easy to find, the pictures on the site are all accurate and it was very comfortable. Icy cold air conditioning was welcome in a heatwave in August! The terrace was a lovely outdoor space to relax at the end of the day. We were totally satisfied with the apartment. One point to note is that the access to one of the bedrooms is through another bedroom. That was absolutely fine for us as a family but it might not work as well for two separate couples. This is in no way a complaint - just an issue that some might want to know.

The area was perfect. The apartment was very easy to find and it is right behind Piazza Plebiscito which is a very useful landmark. It is a short walk to the Metro station then just a couple of stops to the train station. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Molo Beverello port for the fast ferries to Capri and other islands; about 15-20 minutes for the larger cruise port. There is a lovely street near the apartment (turn left and then second or third street on the left) with lots of food shops and small convenience stores so everything you need is within 5 minutes walk. If you want to eat out there are good local restaurants within moments and some fancier restaurants a few minutes walk away down Via Chiaia.

We had a wonderful stay in Naples. I would definitely recommend the Red Lily as a place to stay and Maria Rosaria as a hostess. We hope to return before too long.
