The three of us absolutely loved staying here for three nights, the best accommodation of our Italy trip. I was afraid it couldn’t be as nice as the photos, or as comfortable as the description, but the reality was better.
I haven’t been to Naples in 25 years, and don’t know it at all, but I had heard of it being dangerous: We felt as safe as in any place we’ve been. The flat is in the distinctive, “unrestored”/“authentic” Quartieri Spagnoli, and it had a real neighborhood feel to it. I would say that for tourists the location would be hard to best, yards from the Via Toledo, a minute or three walk to the metro. We easily walked from here to central station, to Vomero, the archeological museum, La Starita, the port.
It is newly, and very well, restored. Everything is very well thought out, I twice thought something was incomplete (e.g. cutlery, towel hook), but soon discovered I was just not looking properly.
Very large for the three of us.
Fantastic air conditioning, in all three rooms, even in hot August we just put it on for an hour or so early evening and we were cool.
Gleamingly clean.
Coffee pods, fruit, drinks, breakfast goods, even fresh pastries the first day, we had more than enough for breakfast the whole stay.
Some advice for those who may not be familiar with the “on demand” hot water system used in Southern Europe: every time one shuts off the hot water, the system stops heating water, so there is a lag to get hot water when one turns on the hot water again: this is not a criticism, one just needs to bear this in mind.
Being in this authentic quarter, there is naturally a church really close, and I suspect that the bells are rung manually, and that the first morning the ringer was very enthusiastic. It adds character to the stay, but I must admit that the first day I has no idea what was going on and ran around trying to figure out what it was.
Thanks again, Fabio, this accommodation enriched our stay in Naples, and we hope to return.
