Riccardo's apartment was the perfect place for exploring Napoli. It is clean and neat and had everything we needed and nothing we didn't need! Edo kindly met us at the apartment, explained everything and made dinner reservations for us as well. The host also arranged transport from the train station, although taxis are easy to find and the drivers we encountered all spoke excellent English - make sure you get them to turn on the meter or agree a price before you get going.... we found that the trip from the central train station to the apartment should cost about 15 euro, but prices varied from 13 to 25 euro. The neighborhood is very safe and an easy walk to many areas - we had a great time exploring the small streets and laneways on our walk to "pizza street" (Via Dei Trubulani). The metro is very close and easy to navigate. We spent an awesome day at Herculaneum, which is easily reached by public transport (if you go, take a guided tour and then make time for lunch at the fabulous Osteria Viva lo Re). A pizza making class topped off our visit. Highly recommend both Riccardo's apartment and the gritty, exciting, and very *real* city of Napoli!
