Gian Paolo's apartment is located in the unique Quarter Espagnole. The streets are narrow and the shops and restaurants spill into the streets. It is very lively. Despite the lively street scenes we did not experience alot of noise in the apartment while sleeping. We windows were shut and the A/C worked well during our July stay. Gian Paolo arranged for his neighbor to pick us up from the airport for a fee that was less than a taxi and made us feel at home when we arrived. Gian Paolo gave us numerous recommendations for places to eat and things to do. He gave advice about how to get to the train station, etc. Overall he was a very gracious and helpful host. I would stay there again in ever back in Napoli!
