We were very pleased to find the apartment just as described. It was spacious and comfortable, with views of the Bay of Naples from the side windows, and very quiet. Paola and John greeted us at the front entrance of the palazzo complex (two lifts and seven floors below the apartment) and took care to get us oriented. They were very friendly hosts, available but not intrusive, and were kind enough to call a cab for us when we left. They also provided a very welcome array of food and drink to get us going in Naples, as well as handy notes on the area. The 8 minute walk to the funicular took us past many interesting businesses and shops - several soon became favourites - though crossing the Corso is not for the faint-hearted! The funicular connects to the Metro, and all with the same public transport card, so it's easy to get around. We never felt the need to get a cab during our stay, and found shopping for domestic supplies pretty easy. We enjoyed staying in the apartment and would recommend it.
