This is a true five-star AirBNB. I feel that often people give five stars to be nice (which I have done before) but this place is truly exceptional.
The building is not much to look at from outside, but the inside of this unit is totally modern and looks brand new. One can tell that they spent serious money making this place as comfortable as possible, with everything (save for a few kitchen items) in tip top shape. High-quality mattresses, fast and easy internet, an amazing couch blanket I wanted to buy from them….everything here is designed for comfort and it feels like it. They have definitely put effort and money into making this place great.
Awesome location as well. We arrived by train at the Napoli Centrale station, and it was an easy walk over. Very convenient as well for nearby restaurants and local metro. So easy for us to get around from here. Taxis are available from the train station as well, and we just booked a taxi online to pick us up from the AirBnB to get to the airport with no issues.
There is a washer which was super convenient for us. Some clothesline out the window for drying.
The owner's communications were very quick. He met us on the day of arrival and let us drop our bags off early, which was very much appreciated. I was very happy dealing with him.
Only flag is that the neighbour next to or above the master bedroom watched tv every night of our four night stay, and we could hear it very easily. They watched until well past midnight each of the nights, making it hard to fall asleep with that background noise. I hope that the owner investigates and has a talk with them (we asked them not to during our stay, as we didn’t want to deal with any arguments). Some strategies to cope: turn on the ensuite fan, put someone in there that isn’t sensitive to noise or will fall asleep before the neighbour starts watching tv (somewhere around 9pm) and/or bring earplugs (something the owner may wish to provide themselves to all guests) or use headphones to fall asleep to something.
I hope this doesn’t dissuade anyone from booking this place; just providing suggestions on how to enjoy it with this wrinkle. This is otherwise a perfect place to stay, and an awesome place for me and my family (with kids aged 6 and 9). If we come back to Naples, we will definitely see if this place is available again. This is the first AirBNB I have stayed at, where I would make such a statement.
Accessibility note: there are two flights of stairs that must be climbed before reaching the elevator.
