Brando communicated quickly and politely and immediately made us feel like we were dealing with a trustworthy and experienced host. He ensures that you locate and settle into the apartment, which is appreciated. The apartment is a little like a hotel suite in effect and is quiet and secure. The shower space is small and the kitchen area is small too, but in Naples, it is not so expensive to eat out and great fun to mix with the locals...and you can easily pick up a coffee and a pastry at one of the coffee shops..oh and the bed is very comfortable.
There is a good Carrefour Express supermarket across the road. The train station and funicular are just around the corner. The location is great for exploring the Castle area (The Certosa di San Martino was wonderful ) and general south west neighbourhoods and easily possible to walk to the Palazzo Reale area too. There is a branch of the famous Gay Odin chocolate and ice cream stores just off the plaza too. Very friendly city and a very enjoyable experience.
