Ok location for a short stay.
We spent 17 days at this home over the Holidays (Dec 18-Jan3) and while the location was interesting (right in the heart of old Napoli) I feel in hindsight we should've gone with a flat that was better equipped for longer stays.
We were only provide with ONE towel set per person (four bath towels and four small wash rags, total). The owner did manage to have the towels swapped out on one other occasion but still this seems unreasonable for such an expensive location and such a long stay.
The apartment views are nice at sunset and sunrise and the vintage feel of the building is beautiful. However, no thought has been made to make the place inviting or comfortable. There is one small couch and two, one person seats. These match the building vibe and look vintage, but are more of a decoration as they are hard as a rock and very small.
The TV was placed next to the couch on a random tucked away wall which makes viewing tv rather uncomfortable unless you sit at the kitchen table which is again very hard as there are four plastic modern looking seats.
There is no microwave, washer, dryer, or oven. There is however a dishwasher which is nice and unexpected. Odd as you would think a microwave or washer/dyer would be much more useful.
None of this should be an issue for a short stay where most of the time is spent away from the flat but does prove to be an issues for longer stays when some of the time is spent just relaxing inside. For longer stays you will have to eat many meals out and be prepared to go to the laundromat, which is not close by.
The other thing to note is that the flat in on the last floor and there is no lift so you will be getting a workout every time you leave and return. The steps are uneven and there are ALOT of them to be climbed. Again, for a shorter stay, doable but for longer stays it gets tiring to go through this so often and to bring groceries up and down the stairs is a mission.
My only serious complaint is that the owner offered to have the flat cleaned halfway into our stay which I appreciated but the cleaning company was HORRIBLE. The flat was is no better cleaned condition after their visit as the floors were still very dirty and the bathroom was still very dirty. I had left a few drink glasses unwashed and they were still in the sink after they left. They even took the dirty towel that we had put on the floor to place your feet on after showering and just left it there instead of replacing it with a new mat or clean towel.
On the last night my phone was pickpocketed a few steps from the flat so be careful as this seems to be common! Other than this incident we felt safe and the area was very interesting and fun. I had also requested a late check out and was denied due to another group coming in. Unfortunately due to the events the night prior, I was an hour late to leave and they charged me extra for this - apx $30 Euros.
All in all I'm being generous with my review given the lack of attention to comfort and detail. I think the owner(s) are too focused on turning a profit and would do well to invest into the flat to make it more accommodating. That being said, I do think that a shorter stay would "ok" as you would likely not be in the flat very long and the lack of attention to comfort could be compensated with the excitement of being in a historical building right in the heart of old Napoi.
