I really, really enjoyed my stay in this apartment even though my trip was cut short due to the spreading covid-19 pandemic at the time. It was clean, bright, and had everything I needed. It was also perfectly located so I could (and did) walk everywhere including to the sea where I sat and had a cold limoncello and took in views of Mt Vesuvius and the Almafi Coast. I was a woman travelling alone and not once did I feel unsafe in that apartment or the city no matter what you hear about Naples. The building has great security and a gate that is locked at night if you are nervous.
Francesco was my main contact of the brothers, and he was fantastic. He picked me up and dropped me off from the airport which was very helpful considering the part of old Napoli I stayed in (wasn't sure where to get cabs). We got along great and he kept in constant communication especially as the crisis unfolded and I had to change my flight and get out of Italy early. I'll never forget his kindness and I hope I get to go back to Naples to finish my trip and see the things that got cancelled on me one by one as covid spread.
My timing turned out to be bad, but I have no regrets as I still got to see a lot of Napoli before the crisis hit, but most importantly I got to experience the amazing resilience, friendliness, and helpfulness of the people who live there during uncertainty. That in itself has convinced me to go back and "try again" and I plan on doing that in this great little apartment.
I highly recommend staying here. It was my little Neapolitan home away from home ❤
