Paola and John are extremely thoughtful and gracious hosts. Our cab driver from Positano was not familiar with the city and they talked him through how to find the location. They had bread, pastries and some breakfast staples waiting as well as a homemade treat in case we were hungry when we arrived. We were leaving early on our last day, so Paola arranged for a taxi to come pick us up for the fixed price to the airport.

The apartment is beautiful, with amazing tall ceilings and pretty period accents. While in an older building, things have been remodeled and we found everything to be in very good working order.

The view of the city and bay from the bedroom is beautiful--but is a good indicator of the distance from the city center. Everything was easily reached by public transit, but don't let the relatively short distances fool you into walking. What appears to be a short walk in Naples can turn out to be strenuous because of very steep staircases and hills!

I'd highly recommend checking out the restaurants and shops in the Chiaia district just down the hill from the apartment. We only made it there on our last night and were disappointed we could only squeeze in one meal because there were so many appealing options.
