I love this place!

Set in a quiet but atmospheric lane between the two main streets of the ancient historical centre of the city, it's perfectly located. There's a small balcony where you can look down at old women chatting, children playing, and smell the aromas of home cooking drifting on the evening air.

It's small, but immaculately clean, and completely secure. You have everything you need to cook the incredibly fresh produce and seafood from the market, although the nearby restaurants are cheap and delicious, so you don't need to.

Marco is really helpful and knowledgable. He showed me sights that only a real local would know about, introduced me to local characters, and helped me arrange many aspects of my trip.

Just round the corner is Di Matteo, for Napoli's finest pizzas and outrageously delicious fried snacks. There are several other small local restaurants, shops, beautiful architecture, crumbling Palazzos, the stunning Cathedral, and ancient piazzas and churches within a few minutes stroll.

Naples is an atmospheric, boisterous, friendly and exuberant city, with wonderful huge hearted people, excellent cuisine and loads to explore. This is a superb place to base yourself, and I'll definitely be going back.
