Alessandro's apartment is a great place to stay if you want to be amongst the vibrancy and real life of Naples. We loved staying here. The apartment is very spacious and the sitting room is very comfortable and full of light, which was great for us when we were relaxing in the evening. Alessandro is a great host and very helpful with our bags and recommendations of where to eat. He provided an abundance of breakfast pastries and biscuits and even left us a bottle of wine in the fridge. We absolutely loved the family run restaurant next door, called Insolito, so much so that we ate there on 3 evenings. It was wonderful to be able to roll back into the apartment after our delicious meal. Even though the apartment is in an area that is full of life it was very quiet and we were not disturbed by traffic at all. The windows are huge and have shutters, which no doubt helps. We were able to get to all the sights we wanted to visit without any problems, the Duomo is just around the corner. Next to the restaurant there is a small deli where we were able to buy fresh milk, cold meats, butter and bread, crisps, olives, cheese. The bread is behind the counter, which we did not see at first.
Even though we knew very little of the Italian language everyone we met were really lovely and helpful to us.
I would heartily recommend Alessandro's apartment and would definitely stay there again if we return to Naples.
