Gabriella was a great host, making us coffee whilst the apartment was being cleaned, due to our early arrival.
The flat is in the most perfect location, only a short walk to the main sights, the port, countless restaurants and plenty of bars around nearby Piazza Bellini. Just as welcoming is the taxi rank in adjacent Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, especially when you have an early dash for the airport.
Once you step into the building entrance, the hustle and bustle of the city just fade away - and that is quite a feat in itself.
Overall we couldn't have chosen better accommodation.
