We had a great time at Francesco's place in Naples during New Year's week. The apartment is in a historic building in the relatively quiet Chiaia neighborhood. It is very convenient to the Amadeo metro stop, which takes you to the historic center in a few minutes. It is also an easy stroll from the apartment to shopping and the seafront. The apartment is decorated with vintage furniture from Francesco's family, and was well equipped with supplies for throwing together an emergency meal (which we did a couple times on New Years's Eve/Day). Francesco also thoughtfully provided left a bottle of wine and snacks at check-in, and was in frequent communication to recommend things to do or help arrange taxis.
Besides the apartment, we also had a wonderful time in Naples. The streets were often busy but felt very safe all the places we went. Everyone was welcoming and the food was fantastic! It is also a great base with convenient transportation to Sorrento, Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Paestum.
