Paola and John are the true definition of AirBnB hosts. As soon as they confirmed my booking they took every step to ensure that I was comfortable and accommodated for, from tips on getting there, to welcoming me with wee Neapolitan treats and fruit on my arrival, a comprehensive collection of tourist info on what to do and how to get around, even to booking my taxi back to the train station and helping me plan the rest of my tour.
They live next door to the flat, so they’re always on hand should you ever need any help. The apartment is beautiful and clean, with a partial view of the bay from the bedroom window. It’s well furnished, and the kitchen has everything you could need.
The addition of the fan was very important, as it did get rather humid at some points. The location is safe and secluded - not that I ever felt in danger anywhere in Naples. It sits between vomero and chiaia, with simple access to the centre storico and Spanish quarter. The apartment proved a welcome tonic to the drama of the city centre.
I truly relished my time in Naples, and I believe that was made possible through the kindness of Paola and John.
