We spent a week in La Riggiola, a spacious apartment in an ideal location for exploring Naples and experiencing a bit of life in a traditional Neapolitan neighborhood. It is decorated with antiques, art, and ceramics reflecting the owner's interests and travels.
There was no internet for the first few days of our stay owing to difficulty getting a service technician to respond. Cellular service is also very weak within the apartment. Francesca did her utmost to correct the problem, and a new router was installed before our departure.
Driving a car in Naples is not easy, but if you bring one, Francesca will make a reservation at one of the nearby garages. Parking is expensive.
The apartment is just slightly below street level so there are no views from the windows.
The surrounding neighborhood is safe with friendly and helpful people and has everything, particularly delicious food shops. The funicular is a short walk away, and makes it easy to get down to the historic center.
Francesca is a most accommodating host and instantly responded to our texts for recommendations or additional supplies.
