Alessandro and his brother met us outside the building in the historic centre of Naples which houses their apartment that we rented for three days, as well as their own apartment which is located next door - just a few steps away. They then insisted on carrying our two 20+ kg suitcases up three flights of stairs to the apartment. The building is 300 years old and still has the original floors. The apartment was very clean and quite large. It could accurately be described as rustic - it does not appear to have been updated recently as far as we could tell - but in a charming way. Climbing three flights of stairs may not suit everyone, however, and it was probably the least attractive aspect of staying in this property. Otherwise, the kitchen is well appointed with ample utensils, plates, cutlery and other basic kitchen items. Alessandro and his brother provided us with a map of Naples and proceeded to annotate it with many of their suggestions for places and restaurants to visit. They described the diverse nature of the city, highlighting the characteristics of the many different neighbourhoods. We subsequently used the map to guide us through three days of exploring Naples. We were very happy with Alessandro as our host and would highly recommend this property as a well located place to stay in Naples. It is an excellent base for exploring Naples and very good value provided you are comfortable with climbing three flights of stairs.
