Looking at Google Street view I was a little apprehensive. But we felt so fortunate to have stayed at this property in the middle of Naples. The building sits at the crossstreet of a famous lane for shopping for nativity scenes and one of the great walking streets of Naples. It was busy most evenings with happy people on their nightly strolls. It always felt safe, vibrant and happy. Some of the famous pizza places in Naples are literally 2-3 minutes walk. The awesome National Archaeological museum is 10 minutes away and the quick train to Pompei and Herculaneum is a 20 minute walk (or even quicker via subway).
The stairs up to the place are indeed serious and if you have a lot of luggage it may be a struggle, but once up, the place is very well furnished. It has two comfortable beds in separate rooms making it a good spot for 4 people. And the terrace is amazing. We loved having coffee in the morning looking down on that great walking street and watching the kids walking to school. At night the street was busy and a pleasure to watch with a beer, but the terrace and the apartment were quiet. To the left is a terrific view of Vesuvius.
Dario, our contact during our stay, was prompt, helpful, and fun to communicate with. We never met but his texts were clear and all we needed. We would happily stay here again. The building is very secure with either a key to the entrance or a guard out front, plus, who else is going to walk up all those stairs? Ha ha. Wonderful stay.
