Pros: Spacious location, elevator access is niceCons: place needs some TLC, looks a little worn down/broken in a few areas.Red flag (fixable): Hot/warm water was extremely lacking, running out very quickly in under 3 minutes. We had a shorter stay, so by the time we realized, we didn’t really have time to have it addressed during our stay.

We did not stay in the rental due to cracks in the paint, hair on the bed, bath towels with holes in them. The most disturbing condition was the presence of mold, which is a health hazard. We were refunded some, but not all of the money we paid. Our family was forced to find another rental at last minute.I cannot recommend this rental.

Liked the location but disappointed in the apartment
Vittorio was a great host with wonderful communication, and the location near Spaccanopoli was fantastic. Unfortunately, the apartment was disappointing. We could only comfortably use about half of the space due to the heat. The air conditioning was only in two of the bedrooms. Although it was listed as a 4-bedroom apartment, one of the bedrooms was connected directly to another bedroom with no private entrance and the other had no air conditioning. Because of this, we had to move everyone into the two air conditioned rooms.The kitchen, back bedroom and both bathrooms were EXTREMELY hot. The refrigerator was tiny and had no room for left overs or drinks. The living room furniture needs updated. The couches were small and uncomfortable which made it impossible to gather there as a group. We would gladly stay here again if some updates were completed including more air conditioners, updated furniture and a bigger refrigerator..

The kitchen and the bathrooms were old. They need to be upgraded. The kitchen was so small and out dated. The place location is extremely noisy. However, our host was extremely nice and responsive. If you like the crowds, the city noise, and places to eat and shops in walking distance, then this is the place for you. It's just not for our family.

Disappointing
When we arrived in 95 heat after dragging our luggage from the train station and notifying the host what time we would be arriving the "a/c" listed in the description was not even turned on to cool down the apartment for our arrival during a heat wave. When we asked about the a/c situation we discovered only two bedrooms of the 1500 sq ft had a/c. Nothing on the entire right side (kitchen, 1 bedroom and both bathrooms as well as the living area and 4th bedroom were stifling). When pressed to request a resolution to this the host offered to buy two fans which were brought that evening and said while we were gone on an excursion the following day he would have his worker install two new air conditioning units. That night we had to sleep with the windows open just to get some airflow and heard the traffic all night and covered in sweat. Obviously a sleepless night.No air conditioning when we returned the next day. Stifling heat again so had to move the sleeper sofa into the bedroom that had some a/c, and both fans,close doo to get some relief. Was told he couldn't get an answer from the man who was supposed to install the a/c and they don't work on the weekends. The "fridge" barely cooled anything (dorm style cooler basically). The property is very aged, furniture, stained ceilings, etc. We've traveled all over the world, stayed at many rentals and this ranks among the worst experiences. The host was a very sweet gentleman but it definitely put a damper on our trip to Naples.

The property and owner were very gracious. We had an unfortunate travel delay with a flight cancelation and rented a car to drive in but arrived very late (very early) at 3:30 am. The owner was kind enough to work with us on the check in and we were able to successfully keep our plans for the morning of our arrival. The apartment is near the train station and Naples is a city that the roughness grows on you. We were near Spacanpoli and enjoyed exploring the area. A pizza making class was one of the highlights and was the best pizza we had in Italy! We had a day in Capri and explored Vesuvius and Pompeii during our short stay.

Great Location, Friendly Host
The host was very responsive on WhatsApp, and he allowed us to check in early in the day. The apartment was huge, which was perfect for our family of 5.The location is a really quick walk from the train station, which was important to us because we wanted to venture out to Herculaneum & Pompeii while we were there.But, we also wandered all over the city by foot. While the graffiti and old nature of the area may be startling to some, we found charm in it and wandered the old streets, shops, produce vendors, etc.Taxis are available quickly. But, we normally choose to walk.The host recommended places to eat. We visited the pizza spot he mentioned twice, because it was tasty and economical.

This location was amazing! Has so much space! Rooms are very spacious The Lift was a great help! Beds were very hard on our backs! Restrooms are ok, but could use a new shower curtain & cleaning! Advice, when traveling abroad, leave 1 or 2 outfits behind, just so you can take a couple of your own towels, these towels were rough!
Also, be very careful, using your credit card is better for purchases & taxis! A-lot of Gypsy Thieves! They will pick pocket you in a minute!

Lovely Naples apartment
We had two lovely nights in Vittorio's apartment. It is on the main road and is close enough to walk to everything, The apartment is spacious and air conditioned, so cool after a hot day of exploring. It has a faded, quirky grandeur about it that we found appealing. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen seemed to have everything. Vittorio is a very welcoming and attentive host, and we would recommend Vittorios place. Thank you Vittorio.

Napoli stay June 2024
The appartment is as advertised. On the 4th floor but there is a lift. Nice small balcony overlooking the street. The street is VERY busy. There is noise pretty well all through the night. Emergency vehicles, horns...LOTS of horns. The location os great. Less than 10min walk to the train station and a 12 Euro ride or 30min walk to the Spanish Quarters. Or the docks. The interior could use a facelift but it is an old building with old school charm. Bathrooms are tiny and the shower is comparable to a camp shower. There is a kitchen but we did not use it. Seems well stocked though. Lots of restaurants around as well. If we had to we would stay again.

Good Location for sightseeing
Excellent location for transport links to all major attractions such as Pompei, Vesuvious, Sorrento and even Rome. Communication from host prior to our stay excellent including provision of lots of info provided within the apartment, maps, brochures etc. However very noisy with being on the main road so we found sleeping a little difficult and beds very firm! Apartment itself is very spacious but we felt better suited to 6 people (We were party of 7) using the 3 double bedrooms as the single room adjoins and is accessed via one of these doubles which restricts privacy and using the sofa bed in the lounge means minimal communal area to sit or eat together. Showers powerful enough but pretty small and also is fridge for the potential ammount of guests. Listing says "Hot tub"but we found no sign of this? Overall we enjoyed our stay but agree with some previous reviews that the apartment is tired and is need of some upgrading.

This is a big apartment, centrally located which accommodated 8 adults with ease. We had everything we needed and a great choice of cafes for breakfast in the neighbourhood. Having two bathrooms was very useful for the group and kitchen facilities for coffee and snacks etc. Our host Vittorio was always on hand if we needed him and checked in with us on our first day. Would recommend for any group wanting a great apartment in a great location!

Great choice and host
We had a great stay at Vittorio's property who was a very responsive host. The property is well located on a busy street, but night up so the location is only an advantage. It is spacious and has all you need, and well priced. The place is a little dated, but not in any way that is a problem, and we loved the balconies and large rooms. One thing to note is that parking is about 5mins walk away and not included. Overall recommended.

A Great Apartment
We stayed at Vittorio’s Naples Flat and what a great stay.
Pros:
Vittorio is a GREAT HOST! He was quick with good recommendations and things to see which gave us a head start on things to see. The apartment is centrally located in the downtown/old-town portion of Naples. You are within a 30 minute walk to everything in Naples. History, shopping, food, adventure are all just steps away. There are shops right downstairs and a great coffee shop called Nayman Cafe. Of course everyone wants pizza, my family tried more than our share and we truly loved Pizzeria D’Angeli - get the Vesuvius! Yes it’s a touristy name but you will enjoy every bite. The “exploding lemonades” from the stand across the street are a MUST. The day you arrive and the day you depart you will be so very grateful for the lift!
Con’s:
As with any city parking is tight and comes at a premium price and sometimes there is a fair amount road noise - both of these things are beyond Vittorios control.
Vittorio thank you for being such a wonderful host. We will absolutely be staying here on our next visit to Naples.

Authentic Italian apartment in Napoli
Stayed for a week. Apartment is in an excellent location for exploring Napoli and the surrounding area. Garibaldi Station in a few minutes walk away and the Metro at Doumo is in the other direction along Corso Umberto I. There are some fantastic pizzerias just around the corner from the apartment. Lots of different markets in the smaller streets off of Umberto. Clothes, bags, sunglasses etc and fish, vegetables, fruit etc
Apartment facilities are good. Beds are very comfortable and the 2 larger ones are very spacious. Kitchen has the basics but we didn’t do any cooking just brewed some coffee. There’s a little cafe outside the main door that sells gorgeous pastries. And lots of shops selling everything you need nearby. We got the train from Garibaldi to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We spent some time in the Toledo area, visited the Maradonna murals just off the Main Street in Toledo. Went to the beautiful Galleria Umberto, saw the Caravaggio exhibition in the Galleria d’Italia, went to the Archaeological Museum. And spent time in the evenings down near the port, Castel del’Ovo where you’ll find lots of bars and restaurants as well as the beautiful view looking towards Capri and Sorrento. So much to explore and definitely the best pizza in the world!

Great base for exploring Naples and surrounding areas
Had a lovely time in Naples, perfect location for exploring as only a few minutes from the train stations - tip, use Porta Nolana instead of Garibaldi, far quieter as first stop so you get a seat before everyone else gets on 30 seconds later at Garibaldi and it’s closer too to the apartment. A win-win.
25 minute walk to the port for the ferries so all within easy reach.
Vittorio checked in with us through the week, made us feel very welcomed.
Very spacious apartment, bathrooms quite small relatively but that was fine, good there were two of them. I loved having a piano there too. Was what I imagined a typical Italian apartment would be really, yes, the odd crack in the walls that you’d expect from a place built 130 years ago, slightly tired in places but it was authentic and characteristic.
Overall a very good place to stay with a charming host, thank you Vittorio!
