We enjoyed our stay at Alessandra’s apartment. The apartment is located very close to the Santa Lucia train station and the Guglie vaporetto (water bus) stop. There are some stairs to walk up, but only 2.5 flights, easy to do on a daily basis even with knee problems. The apartment is large and I enjoyed that you could have a separate living area from the bedroom. We did not find the noise in the street was loud or hindered our sleeping, so we could get our rest. The A/C worked very well, and was greatly appreciated when traveling in July!
