This is a cute little apartment right in the heart of the historical area of Naples. It is off a little side street so quiet yet right near a ton of different pizzerias and the market. You get to it by taking the subway at the main train station (Garibaldi) to Dante station and then it's a short walk. On the way you cross through a market at the very end of the market on your way to the apartment is a street pizza vendor. Stop there as ask for a fresh margarita pizza. It will be 1.50$ and it will be the best pizza of your life. And we're not talking a slice we're talking a delicious pizza! He won't sell you a coffee or anything but pizza.
Continue on and eventually you'll make it to the apartment. Vincenzo will meet you and show you the code and give you the keys.. the place is very very secure. Apartment is quaint and beautiful.. old Napoli on the outside but modern on the inside with the best shower ever. The kind that doesn't have a shower curtain that tries to touch you inappropriately and never gets water on the floor. It's awesome and feels like heaven if your a traveller after a long day.
Nice gas stove. Mega comfy bed.. super clean and good Internet. Once your washed up there is a big square where the locals and tourists mingle.. prices were a little higher there.. some young guys may sell you a luck charm for a 1$ .. buy one.. they're not out to scam you just making their way Napoli style.
The city street crossing is nuts. It makes New York look organized. But the people are actually really nice and if you don't have the guts to leap into traffic to cross the road (it's a near death experience) they will at some point take pity and stop to let you pass.
On Crime. Naples has some rough areas, avoid them. Stick around the apartment and go down to the marina .. see the sites and it will be fine. Don't be insecure with things and flashy. There are a lot of police. It's a tourist section and they're not going to mug you unless your an absolute fool and dangling an Armani purse. If you want to show off how wealthy you are then we'll.. karma.
They city is beautiful chaos with a fast tempo. If you want slow go south down the almafi coast. All suddenly everything is slow and nothing is rushed!
But for Naples? This apartment is perfect! And a great great price for what you get.
