Guest Reviews

• Iza (10/5): -
• Margit (10/5): -
• Sebastian (9/5): -
• Isobel (4/5): - Good location. Room was nice. We knew about the stairs before we came so this was fine. - The host was rude. After asking three times what time we would be checking in and telling him politely each time, he sent this message - "My dear, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, I feel to clarify that my place is NOT an hotel but an apartment where I rent rooms... have you read the description of the apartment on Booking and the description of the room that you have rent?" Which seemed very uncalled for !! Especially as on Google the property is listed as a three star hotel..... Looking at some other responses to low reviews, I can see the hosts true colours - if you're unsure on this review, take a look at some others. Maybe there are so many good reviews because the host texts the guests asking for a 10 star review as soon as they have left. - There are so many rules to abide by in this apartment that I felt like I was walking on egg shells and going to be told off for just existing there - "don't touch the curtains, use the rope" etc - aside from the kettle, nothing in the kitchen seemed to work and the sink was dirty - loud noise from below at night, which is surprising since the hotel is on the top floor. Found it hard to sleep.
• Arda (8/5): Good value and central - Accomodation was good value for money. The owner Davide and the reception Monica were very helpful, although not all requests were met fully. The room is OK for a short stay, and comes with an additional private bathroom. Location is very central. Not every request was met but it was OK for a short stay. It is good value, though there is often noise from the street.
• Izabella (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Davide! - The room was lovely, clean, and in a great location! We had everything we needed and were very comfortable! There are a lot of stairs, but we knew about it beforehand and it was worth it.
• Katarzyna Pakalnicka (9/5): -
• Riccardo Mario (7/5): - Stanza pulita, personale gentile e ottima posizione Non c'era l'ascensore (terzo piano con scale ripide) e la finestra del bagno non era opacizzata. Un po' troppe cose da ricordarsi e di cui sentirsi non proprio a casa ma ospiti (lascia le scarpe fuori, conserva la tessera magnetica o rimani chiuso fuori e se succede devi pagare una penale, chiudi con le mandate, lava le tazze...)
• maria angela (10/5): -
• Irma (10/5): -
• Olga (10/5): - Az elhelyezkedés kiváló. Egy csomó látnivaló pár lépésen belül. Konyha kávéval, teával. Fiataloknak, fiatalos öregeknek ideális - tényleg sok a lépcső, de legalább ledolgozod a pizzát mire felérsz!
• Dina (7/5): - God central placering. God til prisen.
• Sascha (10/5): - The location is very central, especially for nightlife around the university but also great to walk to any sight in the city. The host Davide was extremely nice and caring and made sure everything in our stay was perfect. The feel of the building is also very charming, with nice and high ceilings that keep it cool. The unit lies in a shared apartment with two other similar units, bathroom and bedroom are private but the kitchen is shared. No problem for us but could be made a bit clearer in the description perhaps.
• Roberto (10/5): Relax allá scoperta di Napoli - La casa e' ben posizionata nel centro storico di Napoli. La cucina e' ben fornita e la pulizia in generale ottima. La stanza rimaneva abbastanza fresca anche nelle giornata piu' calde
• Bela (10/5): Beautiful, clean and perfectly located place to stay in Naples. - The apartment is very clean, the host is super friendly and helpful, its located perfectly and the price is very fair. nothing
• Federico (9/5): - Ottima posizione, host molto gentile, camera pulita e silenziosa la notte chiudendo le finestre. Tutto perfetto
• Gabriel (10/5): - I would gladly stay at Davide’s place again. The apartment is perfectly located, right in the heart of the historic center, yet surprisingly quiet. It is spotless, well equipped, and very comfortable. Davide is an outstanding host: warm, attentive, flexible, and always ready to help. Highly recommended without hesitation.
• pablo (10/5): -
• Conti (10/5): Napoli Mon Amour - Tutto! Come prima cosa Davide è un ottimo padrone di casa presente preciso e super disponibile . L' appartamento tra l' altro molto carino è vicinissimo al Chiostro di Santa Chiara e al centro storico quindi comodissimo. Nelle vicinanze trovi locali e negozietti ma nonostante questo di notte si dorme benissimo e nel totale silenzio e con una bellissima visuale sul chiostro e su Castel dell' Elmo. Stanza pulita e curata nei dettagli.ottima la temperatura dell' acqua calda e del locale. Cucina in comune piccola ma attrezzata anche per fare tisane e caffè. Io non posso che consigliarlo la nostra esperienza è stata super positiva Spero di tornarci presto! Claudia e Antonio Tutto perfetto
• Revital (10/5): -
• Katharine (10/5): - Nice and quiet. Very good lighting. Coffee!! The host exceptionally helpful and kind. This place would be ideal for the younger and fitter, as there are three flights to go up and down.
• Carlton-Reditt (10/5): Wonderful trip to the heart of Naples - Very centrally located - authentic old building so it felt like a real Italian experience. The flat was fully equipped and the shower was fabulous ! There are 3 flights of fairly steep steps up to the apartment which wasn’t a problem for us but might be for someone less fit and able.
• Guizzardi (10/5): Lovely place in perfect location - Amazing location lovely budget place with lots of charm Nothing... just be ready for some steps but considering how much one eats in Naples is good to have some exercise!
• Giovanni Maria (10/5): - Posizione nel pieno della vita napoletana, con la vita notturna appena fuori in strada. Vicinissimi molti monumenti come il Cristo Velato e vicinissimo il Chiostro di Sant'Anna e la strada di San Biagio del Librai. Appartamento pulito e stanza spaziosa. Da aggiungere qualcosa alla colazione
• Ona (10/5): Good, clean and great place to stay in Naples! - An apartment is very bright and nice! There is a great kichen and clean enviroment. An appartement is in a very good location, with not only amazing view from tge balcony, but very close to all the attractions.
• Helga (10/5): -
• David (9/5): - Situated in a great part of town. Lots of sights and cafes etc on your doorstep. Great quirky art and furnishings. Host was very friendly and helpful. There is street noise at night. It didn't bother me as I accept I'm living in city. Some may not like it. There are a lot of stairs to the flat. I'm 64 and it was okay but anyone with mobility issues may struggle.
• juan jose (6/5): Decepcionante - El cuarto y la ubicacion Las escaleras terribles y sin ascensor!!!! El Anfitrion Davide grosero y muy restrictivo!!
• Castro (5/5): Não foi muito satisfatória, mas para apenas passar a noite, funcionou. - O anfitrião foi muito atencioso. O colchão não era confortável, a localização é um pouco esquisita e para mim que tenho alergia respiratória, não foi muito bom.
• Ilenia (7/5): Posizione ottima e bella vista, gestione da migliorare - Posizione buona in pieno centro storico. La stanza che avevamo aveva una bellissima vista sul Monastero di Santa Chiara ed era luminosa. Nel complesso, la struttura ha un costo troppo elevato per ciò che offre. La stanza non è molto grande e il bagno è piuttosto scomodo. Inoltre, la pulizia non ci è sembrata perfetta. Infine, sarebbe stato carino poter lasciare i nostri due piccoli zaini per qualche ora dopo il check out, come ormai accade in ogni struttura di questo tipo (per niente low cost), ma non è stato affatto possibile organizzarsi con il proprietario in tal senso. Peccato!
• Peyton (10/5): - Great distance from downtown! Can easily walk around Naples from this apartment! The tenant was extremely nice and we had a very pleasant stay!
• Camila (9/5): - Boa localização e quarto muito limpo e confortável
• Ashley (10/5): The host was wonderful and super friendly - It was perfectly located for exploring and nightlife.
• Marketta (10/5): -
• Filomena Liliana (8/5): -
• William (8/5): -
• Johanna (9/5): -
• Kim (10/5): -
• Alejandro Ignacio (8/5): Buena estancia y muy atentos. - Todo muy bien No pude dejar mi equipaje post check out, yo no había preguntado previamente.
• Romina (8/5): - La habitación es amplia , cómoda y luminosa. La ubicación es muy buena. Es un tercero con ascensor, nosotros no tuvimos problema pero para quien va con equipaje grande puede serlo.
• ifistric974 (8/5): - The location is really convenient and although located very centrally due to the excellent soundproof windows and thick walls you basically cannot hear any noise either within the flat or from the outside. The room was pretty basic but it had everything I needed. The host was very responsive to all the questions I had and check in was smooth. The area where the accommodation is located felt safe to me, lots of bars and restaurants around. First of all, there is no elevator in the building and if you are traveling with a heavier or bulkier luggage this could be an issue as the stairs, especially between the second and the third floor where accommodation is located, are very steep. I am not a triathlon athlete but still it was quite challenging for me each time to climb up these stairs. There are all kinds of rules in the flat which I haven't come across while staying at other places like don't touch the curtains with your dirty hands or leave your shoes outside the flat, the day when I arrived I felt like a mischievous school kid being confronted by the headmaster explaining all the rules of the house.
• Daniel William (10/5): - The location couldn't have been better. The host was simple and clear in his instructions; he set me up, then left me alone, ensuring my privacy, though he messaged me twice to make sure I was okay. Everything was perfect.
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Aleksandra (10/5): Wonderful location and equally wonderful contact with the owner. The room was very clean and spacious also beautifully d -
• NATHALIE (10/5): -
• Christophe 73 (8/5): - L'emplacement calme pour être dans l'hyper centre La cuisine accessible Pas de possibilité de laisser les bagages
• Lucía (10/5): El alojamiento es hermoso y cómodo. Tener en cuenta las escaleras - La vista, la ducha, la decoración! El espacio, los muebles, el trato! Nada!
• Wouter (10/5): The location of this appartment is superb! - The location is superb! Beautiful room with a nice balcony. Everything was great!
• Vācietis (10/5): -
• Vincent (10/5): -
• Asja (10/5): - The room and the apartment were clean and comfy, great location close to all the historic city center, Davide and Monica were really kind and helpful.
• Thomas (10/5): Wonderful Neapolitan accommodation clean, comfortable and quiet - Wonderful location in the heart of quartiere Porto in Napoli. Three apartments with private bathrooms sharing a communal kitchen area. Easy access to università metro just 5 minutes walk. The kitchen had access to everything you need to prepare breakfast before starting your day. Staff very friendly and helpful.
• Maria (9/5): Very good, I recomend it 100% - It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The barhroom is new, kitchen have all necessary The street entrance might look scary but it is a safe area with lots of shops nearby, even at night there is a lot of people, but not noisy.
• Martynas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Markus (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in the middle of Naples Old Town and authentic neighborhood. Clean, good equipped room for a city trip and a great host!
• Shereena (7/5): Good for a short-stay and in an ideal location with a communicative and responsive host. - The location was really good in terms of accessibility and convenience, close to public transport including subway and bus stations. The host was courteous and clear with instructions, making sure we understood and messaged to make sure we were okay. He also allowed us to drop our bags off before check-in which was much appreciated. He was also fast to respond after booking and before arrival in Naples. Room was spacious and neat, and came with all the amenities listed. The air conditioning worked well and was much appreciated after a hot day. The location was up three flights of stairs which we were aware of, although we were unaware that the area and building itself was older than expected in comparison to the photos on the listing. We did not realise that the photos on the listing were of the attractions around such as Santa Chiara monastery. Rooms were more modern and nicely decorated though common area with kitchen was older than expected. We were also unaware it was a flat with 3 shared rooms, and the door may be a bit loud when entering as we were in the room nearest to entrance. We were also unaware there was someone else staying in one of the other rooms. When he came into the flat close to midnight on the first night we were a bit startled, given that we are two early-twenties women now with another male guest now in the flat. It would have been appreciated if we were told there were other guests around beforehand. The host was polite and messaged if we were alright during our stay, though the communication through list of instructions seemed to be delivered in a less hospitable manner. Although we understand this may be because of previous guests, we may have been expecting a bit more warmth due to past reviews.
• Ekin (10/5): Perfecr - Host is a nice person and super helpful All was fine
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cayla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• William (8/5): Excellent and very central - Comprehensive communal kitchen potentially shared with two other rooms available for use. Breakfast not provided. Kitchen area could be simplified with less clutter and greater cleanliness around the sink
• Jaqueline (8/5): Very good - Spacious room and great location.
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Very central location in a cool neighborhood. A charming apartment with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable bed.
• Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional - I had a great stay. Really nice appartment and room. Checkin was easy. Very clean. Perfectly located to reach the historic centre and places only in a few minutes.
• Victor (5/5): Deceiving - Location only Too High floor
• Ana (10/5): Great location for visiting the city - We had an amazing stay at Davide’s!! The place is so well located, we visited everything walking. The room is exactly like on the images, nice natural light and spacious. Davide was very flexible with the check in and check out times, we really appreciated this. We highly recommend to stay here when visiting Napoli. All was perfect
• Sophie (10/5): quiet hideout in bustling Naples - The accommodation is at the heart of the old district in a quiet side street, which is the perfect location to explore the surrounding historic sites of Naples. The apartment is at the top floor of an historic building with impressive stairs, that might be a bit challenging for physically impaired travellers, but for the average visitor absolutely manageable. The room is well equipped with a warm atmosphere and a shared kitchen and the host is very responsive and helpful with local recommendations and assistance. I'd recommend the accommodation to others.
• Dmytro (9/5): Superb -
• Michal (9/5): Nice host - The location was excellent in the historic center of the city, close to must see sites like the Santa Chiara convent and countless restaurants. The hot shower was great and the room was nice and clean. The owner was very kind and went out of his way to store our luggage despite his many guests and appointments. Thank you for your hospitality! Steep stairs to the third floor (however still a nice experience in an old and authentic Naples house).
• Harris (9/5): Great stay - The owner does a great job organizing and managing the unit, perfect location, and host You must expect to climb stairs
• Lenka (9/5): Superb -
• Navjyoth (8/5): Very good -
• Lagardelle (9/5): Superb - Charming cozy apartment and very well placed. The host is very welcoming and available for you to have the best possible stay.
• Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Manxin (8/5): Very good -
• Isabel (9/5): Nice and comfortable accommodation at a great location - The airconditioning worked really well, which was great especially with the warm weather in Naples. The room was small, but big enough for the two of us. The bathroom and shower were great.
• Holly (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place to stay in an ideal central location. Lovely spacious room with a balcony with a view, even though the area can be busy at times, the room is very quiet and you can get a good night sleep. The host is very helpful and responsive, he even helped us book a taxi for a very early flight. We had a great stay!
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - The location was amazing. Central to everything! The host was very accommodating and friendly.
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, Davide was super friendly and helpful with everything we needed. Had the perfect stay in Napoli, would definitely stay here again when we come back!
• Julie (8/5): Comfortable accommodation in a crazy vibrant city - The bedroom was clean and comfortable and there was no noise from outside, so we slept well There were lots of beautiful marble stairs, the apartment is on the top floor so not good for those that are not physically fit
• Yuceer (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, super clean, friendly host
• Jessica (4/5): We wouldn't reccomend. The host was rude. It didn't look like the pictures. It was uncomfortable. - The room was clean. We are providing a really low review as we felt the host was really rude. We had travelled around Italy and Naples was our last stop. We did have two suitcases and of course we were aware of the stairs, but we didn’t mind as from the pictures and reviews it looked worth it. However as we are making our way slowly up the stairs the host is saying did you not read the information before you booked, and was sarcastic and rude. We felt so uncomfortable. We said we had but we didn’t mind lugging our suitcases up once, we were just taking our time as they were heavy. We then got in and he is explaining how get in and get out, we thought we had understood everything, but when we came back that night we struggled to get in to the door to the actual apartment. We had turned the keys but we remember having to press a button of some sort to the side. We couldn’t work it out for ten minutes. It was 7:30 so we decided to give him a quick call to see if he could remind us. He sent us such a rude voice note saying he had explained and why we hadn’t listened and how we were all wrong. Bear in mind earlier at lunch when we had arrived we had tried to pay attention there was a card and three keys, and lots of rules, we had traveled from sorrento that day and had maybe misheard. We had not been rude the entire time we had been polite, said thank you and please and said we appreciated him accommodating us. We just felt like he was the rudest person and not easy to talk to and very confused with all the positive reviews we had seen. The bathroom has a window where the apartment in front has a balcony that can see straight into. There is no curtain or blinds. There are rules that make it feel very stressed as you will have to pay for the littlest of damages. We felt like we couldn’t talk, we whispered in the evening. It just feels unrealistic to host travellers in your home and not expect some noise as they might stay out later to enjoy the city views and gelato.
• Sam (8/5): Amazing location! Very kind host. Made our stay memorable. - Location was incredible, host was very kind The description doesn’t actually state the accomodation is in the hosts own apartment. So a shared space with the host. Not a problem As the host was great, but still a bit of a surprise to arrive to.
• Vanessa (10/5): Host is very Nice. We have a very good stay . Great property, excellent value for money, perfect loc - Excellent location
• Raquel (8/5): Very good - Great location and exactly how it was described: comfortable and spacious room. Walking distance from the main attractions. The host was very nice and helpful!
• Panteleimon (9/5): Excellent experience of Napoli. - Space, decoration, behavior, cleanliness, comfort, organization. Everything was good arranged. The only weak point is the stairs. You have to climb 75 stairs up and..that's not always easy! The second thing that I would recommend is to inform clients about the fact that the name "Casa del sole" is not on written on the bells by the front door. This is a little bit confusing.
• Paula (10/5): The perfect location to visit the city! - Two person room with private toilet in the hart of the old center. Quiet appartement and very friendly host.
• Yasemin (8/5): Very good - Davide is a really kind and caring host. :) Nothing
• Nadya (10/5): Great location great host, very clean and cozy room. Our host Davide went above and beyond! - The location was great. Davide was incredibly friendly and helpful! Nothing, our experience was perfect.
• Walter (10/5): Fantastic experience in downtown Napoli - Davide the host is extremely kind and welcoming without being overbearing. Upon arrival he took us through his property, clearly explained all details and also gave us tips on how to see Napoli in the best was possible from put interests and time frame. The room is very nice, clean, comfortable and spacious, up high off the street so noise isn’t an issue. The view is pretty great too! The location is amazing in a amazing lively area with always something going on. Note: Napoli is a crazy busy city so if you are driving prepare yourself! Ask Davide for details of the best areas to park near him and good luck!
• Madison (10/5): My stay was amazing! The host was incredibly helpful and kind! Couldn't ask for more. - The host recommended an amazing vegetarian restaurant! I ended up going 2 nights in a row.
• Andreea (8/5): Very good -
• Romina (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location if you want to explore Napoli's most touristic spots. The view from the balcony is very nice and the room is spacious, comfortable and charming! Davide was incredibly nice and couldn't do enough to help us having a great time during our stay in the city. We recommend this place and we hope we have the chance to come back one day soon :)
