Just Perfect
This is a wonderful place, exactly as the pics indicate. A short two minute walk from via Toledo, in a typical narrow Spanish Quarter street. Gated entry and welcomed by Filippo, as host. Elevator for one plus one bag only. 15 easy steps up the the penthouse. Sparkling clean and fresh smelling. Kitchen adequate but no food stuffs at all. Hosts left a bottle of bubbly and two waters in the fridge. Bathroom clean and everything works. Electrical outlets work everywhere. Water pressure and temp in the show was adequate. The "living room" is up three stairs. Glass walls and every window and door slides open effortlessly. Quick to get warm on a sunny day - open full and it feels like you're sitting on a patio. Lighting and seating is comfy, and TV (I didn't watch, but it worked). The patio itself is the biggest attraction. Warm and inviting, clean, surrounded by evergreen plants, with two loungers and a table for relaxing. I spent much time here. Bed sheets and linens were fresh and clean and the bed was surprisingly comfy - I slept hard each night.
The area is typical Napoli, crowded, loud, and inviting. Cruise ships invite extra thousands and, by 10am, via Toledo is jam-packed. Hint: Walk UP the hill from your door to find markets, tabbachi, and restaurants. The Spanish Quarter is laid out in a square grid so it's easy to just wander so long as you keep your position relative to via Toledo. Every street and corner has a surprise.
I absolutely would stay here again. Quiet (five floors from the street noise) warm, comfy to live and cook, and lots of room for two people and a small child.
Highly recommended.
