We had an incredible week staying at Selene House. The apartment is charming and comfortable, with a beautiful terrace for breakfasts and aperitivos in the sunshine. The air conditioning was very good, which is a must in the Naples summer heat. The stairs, which are mentioned in another review, were no problem at all, even for my 65 year old mother with creaky knees. The apartment would be a great place to travel with the whole family, with kids of any age. I’m tall (5’10/1.80m) and I slept soundly in the bunk bed.
This was the perfect apartment for a first time visitor to Naples. The apartment is within a small gated complex, which was quiet at night and felt very secure. We loved the location, a lovely and safe neighborhood, without all the Neapolitan chaos of the downtown. The apartment has convenient access to the metro and the funicular, plus a taxi stop nearby. There are great fruit stands and wine shops within a 100 meters of the front door. The Chiaia neighborhood also has lots of luxury shopping and stylish sidewalk trattorias and cafes. You can also go up the hill to visit the scenic Vomero area.
If you’re still not convinced, know that hands down, Nicola is was the best AirBnb host I’ve ever stayed with—communicative, helpful, and kind. He helped us with the taxis, with our bags, and even had fantastic restaurant recommendations. It felt like Nicola truly cared about our having a good time in Naples. Thank you so much for everything! We will certainly return to the Selene House next time we’re in the area.
