To be honest with you we found booking accommodation in Naples with our family a nightmare.
A lot of hosts kept changing their prices saying they had made a mistake in the price and wanted more money. which is a hosts prerogative I suppose but certainly not good business because many of them had no bookings. We nearly gave up until we saw a new ad for the Garden Flat by new hosts Claudia and Manuel who gave us faith again in Airbnb.
Thank you so much Claudia and Manuel you have made our stay in Naples truly special by your kindness and great hospitality. We had a very late flight which was delayed but Manuel kept in touch and greeted us at the house. We were given a lovely spread of breakfast items and toiletries which was really nice. (And was restocked as we stayed for two weeks)
The apartment was beautiful. Very modern, clean and tidy. Well kitted out, good WiFi, utensils and washing machine with a garden to dry clothes (very rare to find outdoor space in Naples). Lovely clean bedding and towels.
Perfect location, a walk away from the tram, bus and metro. A two minute tram ride to the centre of Naples or a short walk down steps.
This place is perfectly located if you want the hustle and bustle and craziness of central Naples, but can go home to a serene and quiet apartment. Perfect for anyone but we found it perfectly located as having children they could go in the garden.
Very secure, two sets of security gates which only residents have access to. Both hosts respected our privacy but were only an email or phone call away should we have had the need for anything. There are some steps leading to the apartment but that is shown in the description.
We hired a car which is nice if you want to get to see out of Naples but was horrendous to park so beware. There are local garages but are quite pricey. We were able to get the train from Piazza Garibaldi to go to Sorrento and other places and there were also buses which could take you to Pompeii and Mt Versuvius.
Don't underestimate how busy and congested Naples is, the pavements are small and crossing the roads is so dangerous as no one stops. The mopeds are really hazardous. And just keep your navigation and wits about you.
We had a great time.
Thank you Claudia and Manuel.
