Guest Reviews

• Ana (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay! The location was fantastic and made exploring really easy. The apartment was okay and suited our needs. Lorenzo was especially helpful, he gave us lots of insider tips and was available whenever we needed something. Breakfast was simple, classic Italian, and a nice way to start the day. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, so we waited about 2.5 hours, which was a bit inconvenient after traveling, but Lorenzo stayed polite throughout.
• Monika (5/5): - Lokalizacja Obsługa personelu oraz brak realizacji całości świadczeń obejmujących rezerwację (brak taxi z lotniska oraz brak śniadania)
• florence (8/5): -
• Véronique (9/5): Napoli, la ville des contrastes - Notre hôte, Lorenzo, nous a indiqué de bonnes adresses. Il nous a accueilli le jour de notre arrivée avec bienveillance et amabilité. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à Naples.
• Juan Jose (3/5): Mala experiencia. - La ubicación céntrica pero el balcón da a un callejón lúgubre. Especialmente las marrullerías y gritos de Lorenzo, su encargado. Primero intentó por todos los medios que anulara la reserva de Booking para hacerlo directamente con él y no pagar su comisión. Como no me gustan esos manejos, no acepté. Las condiciones como recogerte en el aeropuerto, se las salta. No me han hecho la habitación ni limpiado en los 6 días, te dejan las toallas en un cuarto para que las cojas. El desayuno es un café con un bollo en un bar al que ni siquiera había avisado que íbamos. Está en un segundo piso sin ascensor. La salida no es como dice el anuncio de Booking a tu conveniencia, de hecho dice que que esas cosas se las inventa Booking, y a las 10 me echaron a gritos y sin avisarme. Muy desagradable, especialmente por su mal carácter y sus malas formas. Experiencia muy desagradable.
• Miroslav (9/5): Recommend - Nice as described Navigation to apartment.
• alba lucia (9/5): - Ubicación Booking debe agregar en las especificaciones del chekin que no es servicio 24 horas y que se debe pagar si el ingreso es posterior a las 10:00 pm

• Florian (5/5): Lage gut - Lage Zusätzlich hohe Gebühren für späten check in Vermieter zeitweise nicht erreichbar
• Nikola (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Location right in the city center, top owner Lorenzo he was so nice, helpful, willing. The appartment was clean, quiet. I would recommend this appartment for 100%!
• Diana (8/5): -
• Robert (10/5): Fabulous place to stay in centre of historic area of Napoli. - The location, near the Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, is really perfect. Lorenzo who met us to pass us the keys is very helpful with numerous local places to have a drink (OAK bar is tremendous!) or eat. The room is quite spacious and comfortable.
• Christian (10/5): -
• Lucia (9/5): -
• Barbaro (10/5): - Posizione centralissima,la cortesia e accoglienza di Lorenzo, tutto perfetto. Nulla
• Britta (9/5): Sehr zentrale, schöne Wohnung - Wir wurden sehr nett von Lorenzo empfangen. Er hat uns viele Tipps, auch für Restaurants, gegeben. Die Lage mitten in der Stadt ist hervorragend. Wir konnten alles zu Fuß erreichen. Die Wohnung war schön groß und sauber. Der Eingangsbereich durch die kleine Gasse war gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber typisch für Neapel. Das Kopfteil vom Bett könnte ausgetauscht werden.
• Ewa (9/5): - Super położenie w Neapolu, blisko stacji metra, różnych atrakcji. Blisko knajpek i sklepików. Miły właściciel pozwala na bezpłatne przechowanie bagaży.
• Azzurra (10/5): Ottima posizione. Personale molto gentile, ci hanno dato la possibilità di lasciare le valigie tutto il pomeriggio. Lo -
• Laura Noemi (10/5): -
• alessandra (8/5): -
• крещук (7/5): - расположение все было бы здорово, если бы работал вай фай. Хозяин каждый день говорил, что починят, но за 6 дней так и не починили. Отмечу, что хозяин вернул 20 евро за неработающий интернет. Но все равно отсутствие интернета сильно испортили общее впечатление.
• Markus R. (9/5): Perfekt, wenn der Lärm nicht wäre - Gastgeber Lorenzo war jederzeit erreichbar und hat uns mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps unterstützt. Die Unterkunft war sauber, geräumig und die Betten sehr bequem. Die Lage ist super – umgeben von vielen Restaurants, Bars und Geschäften, und auch die Metro ist schnell zu erreichen. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert! Allerdings war der Lärm von draußen leider sehr störend, besonders nachts. Außerdem ist das Frühstück eher spärlich und wird in einem Café nebenan serviert.
• Dr. Kerstin (9/5): - Super Wohnung mitten im Geschehen. Alles sehr sauber. Lorenzo hat uns noch viele Tipps zum Ausgehen gegeben. Besser geht es nicht!
• Michela (9/5): -
• Loredana (8/5): - Profumo di pulito entrando in stanza
• Christian (10/5): Super für Neapelbesuch. - Lage top direkt in der Altstadt. (Parken demzufolge erwartbar nicht ganz einfach.) Großes Dreibettzimmer. Vermieter hat Parkgarage reserviert und war über whatsapp gut erreichbar. Küchenzeile mit allem Notwendigen vorhanden. Frühstücksvouchers fürs Cafe ums Eck, ein Kaffee und ein Croissant. Sehr lecker, aber nicht zu viel. Italiener frühstücken, glaube ich eher wenig;-)) Parkgaragen sind in Neapel eher auf Fiat 500 ausgelegt......das muss man wissen. Und Öffnungszeiten am Sonntag eingeschränkt...
• Silvia (7/5): -
• Jose ramon (10/5): Acierto de pleno - La habitación esta en el centro centro!! El desayuno es una cafetería justo debajo de la habitación!, de muy buena calidad nada
• ZioSolly88 (7/5): -
• Veronica (9/5): Super consigliato! - L’appartamento si trova in una ottima posizione, vicino a molte delle attrazioni della città e ai locali per mangiare. Nonostante si trovi sulla via di spacca Napoli gli infissi sono ottimi e non si percepisce rumore. Il proprietario ci ha dato la possibilità di lasciare gli zaini anche dopo il check out e questo ci ha permesso di visitare la città comodamente e riprenderli solo al momento della partenza.
• Jochen (9/5): -
• David (4/5): NOT WHAT I PAID FOR! A complete con. - The suite was basic and clean. It was located at the rear of the building with a view down the back alley, contrary to the description of a Landmark/City view. The description of the facilities was an almost complete misrepresentation. Most of the facilities, such as electric kettle/microwave were not available. The wifi was not working no payperview or satellite channels. No outdoor furniture, even if there was a suitable place to put them. We had booked and paid for a 6 night stay with a beautiful view of a historic square. The description acknowledges access by stairs only. The so called duplex suites are on the second floor of the building, accessible by a very narrow and steep staircase. totally unsuitable for most older people or anybody with mobility difficulties. I recommend avoiding this site until the host provides an honest description of what is on offer
• Mark (9/5): - Location ease of communication with landlords There are some flights of stairs to negotiate for the rooms with heavy bags this may be an issue for some
• Maya (10/5): Un appartement idéalement situé, un accueil chaleureux et tout le charme de Naples accessible à pied. - L’emplacement de l’appartement est exceptionnel. Nous avons tout fait à pied pendant notre séjour. Lorenzo et ses employés sont vraiment accueillants. Il ne manque rien dans cet appartement. Le petit-déjeuner se prend dans le café en bas, et là encore nous avons été très bien reçus !
• Naomi (10/5): Tutto stupendo - Posto davvero centralissimo. Bella struttura il Balconcino affacciava proprio alla spacca Napoli bellissimo ci ritornerò presto E complimenti a Lorenzo davvero un ottima persona
• Renee (6/5): Don’t stay here. Who wants to be locked out of your place and unable to get in? - The apartment is in the historic district. It is difficult to find the entrance, especially since I was arriving at 1030 at night. And the entrance is down an alley way. There are no signs to point you in the right direction. I found this very frustrating after a long day of travel from the US. This is an Airbnb style apartment. They is no check in area. Someone has to meet you when you arrive to let you in. A major problem was that my key to get in the gate downstairs did not work. They knew there was issues with this key because they said you just need to jiggle the key in the lock if you have trouble. Well I jiggled that key and could not get in. I messaged the host on what’s app and they did not respond to me. This was the next day at approximately 5 pm. I could tell they read my message on what’s app, but no response. Thankfully, a gentleman who also lived in the building was coming out and opened the door. He tried to help me by seeing if he could get my key to work and he could not. He was kind enough to go back up and get a spare key of his and let me use it for the 3 nights I was there. So grateful for that gentleman. He was not the host, just another person living in the building. The other problem was when i landed and turned my phone on the first night before arriving to the apartment, there was a message to me on whats app that they were going to charge me extra because i was checking in late. My plane landed at 10 pm. I responded with saying that this is e first I am hearing of this and when I originally booked i had informed them that I would be arriving after 10 pm. Nothing was said about extra fees at that time. It felt like they were trying to get more money out of me. . Difficult to find the entrance. Not an easy check in process for me. Not clear directions to find the entrance either. Major item was that my key didn’t work. I was a single female traveling on my own. I’m afraid I would have been stranded outside and not able to get in. And they were not responsive on what’s app when I messaged about the issue. For this reason alone, I would not recommend ever staying here !!! I was scared I would be stuck outside all night and not able to get in and this is down a dark alley. I did not feel safe because of this.
• Albert Kurt (8/5): Schöne Stadtvisite - Die Lage DerDuschkopf müsste arretiert werden
• Daniele (10/5): -
• Mariantonietta (9/5): -
• Gianluca (10/5): -
• Jesus bravo (9/5): - Tutto pulito molto vicino da tutto il centro consiglio molto questo B&B
• Lianne (10/5): Heerlijke locatie in het oude centrum - Ruime kamers, zoals op foto’s. Geweldige locatie in het centrum. Zeer vriendelijke host. Ontbijt beneden in het straatje: koffie of cappuccino met keuze uit Italiaanse zoet broodje. Trappen inderdaad wat steil en smal, maar host hielp gelijk met koffers naar boven brengen.
• Beaattrice (8/5): -
• Eugenia (10/5): Grazie per accoglienza !!! - Tutto,il posto,servizi,pulizia !!!
• Giedre (9/5): Superb -
• Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional - - friendly and helpful host -location -pick up arrangement at the airport -cleanliness
• Gianfranco (9/5): Naples is full of life. Noisy, vibrant, exhilarating. - Great location in the heart of Spaccanapoli. Nice big room with kitchen facilities. Clean comfortable and good sound proofing (it is busy outside until late outside but noise did not disturb me with the shutters closed). Staff were really helpful and were waiting for me even after delayed flights. Helpful with lots of good tips for restaurants and local sites. Would happily stay again if back in Naples Nothing
• Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
• Amanvir (8/5): Very good -
• Ines (5/5): We felt like we were being scammed - I’m disappointed by this booking, He promoted a nice place well located, the owner didn’t give us the right room at first, God we are we had to call him call him so he could give us the actual room. Also, the breakfast is supposed to be offered in the price, well we waited the tickets to have the free meal, and we just got coffee, no juices and a croissant. As well, the Wi-Fi is bad more than 20 meters away from the box, and the Wi-Fi is weak, almost inexistent. We paid a tax for four stars hotels, when it was far from being a four star. The location is pretty good though. It’s near the Piazza Dante and the subway, as well near the bus, yet the street is kinda odd at night and it’s a little hard to find and the view is kinda lame.
• Brenda (8/5): Good -
• Michael (9/5): Superb - Excellent location; clean and comfotable room.
• Nikolai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nadya (10/5): Exceptional - Lorenzo is an excellent host. He provided great recommendations on local attractions and dining options in Naples. The apartment is perfectly situated in the old town, just a short walk from Via Toledo, Piazza Plebiscito, and Maschio Angioino. The National Archaeological Museum is about a 15-minute walk away, as is the Port of Naples. The breakfast was fantastic. Traditional Italian selection was available at a nearby café. We enjoyed freshly baked croissants, delicious snacks, coffee and cappuccino. I truly appreciated Lorenzo's kindness in allowing us to stay in the room as long as we needed on our departure day. This was a wonderful gesture!
• Willem (7/5): Good -
• Nicholas (10/5): Perfect location , prefect apartment, perfect host , 5star - Perfect host Seen once to welcome us Then easily contactable by what's app for info on anything. The apartment is situated in a " Perfect location " There is no rough areas near by I've travelled around Italy for the past 7 years , stayed in luxury and some scary places but these place is perfect for a base for Naples, also easy access to ports for trips to Capri etc etc Nothing
• Christophe (8/5): We appreciated our stay in this room. Unlucky with hot water. Plenty of restaurants & close to metro - Lorenzo was very helpful with restaurants addresses. Room was clean. Plenty of restaurants around & close to metro. Unlucky with hot water.
• Laura (9/5): Comfy gem in the middle of all the action - It was centrally located to the main streets where everyone shops and eats. Plenty of restaurants, shopping and entertainment available just steps from the apartment. Everything was clean and well kept. Modern space in a very old building - unique. Very nice city view from small balcony. Host was readily available and able to answer all our questions and gave us recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. We only stayed one night, but could have stayed more days if we had the time! Steep steps to the third floor and no elevator, but totally expected that and was ready for the climb with luggage. Only window located just off the main street, so it was a bit noisy until all hours of the night (even with the heavy shutter doors closed) - we stayed on a Sunday night. But if you like that type of city noise and being in the middle of the action, this is the place for you. Could have used better instructions on how to use the coffee maker!
• Erika (8/5): Perfect location for your stay in Napoli with very friendly Host - Wel loved the location, very central, it's a busy street but mostly during the day so we weren't bothered by street nice and slept ok. Lorenzo was a very and help full host, he shared his favourite places and we tried some of them and they where great, great communication overall about keys and check in etc...
• Petra (10/5): Exceptional - Great Location, big appartment It is a bit loud, but that is normal in Italy
• Aqsa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nedzad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giulia (8/5): Very good -
• John (7/5): Great apartment to access Spacca Napoli (centre) with historical buildings, shops, cafe bars and restaurants nearby. - Good location, large comfortable main bedroom. A/C & heater. Useful Kitchen with hob kettle & fridge. Very secure - three locked access doors. Continental Breakfast was very good in nearby cafe, lovely coffee & croissants. Very friendly staff. Would be better if there were some comfortable chairs in main bedroom to sit & relax. Second room with sofa bed very plain - no pictures or furnishings. No heated towel rail in bathroom.
• Johann (7/5): Good -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Overall, fabulous! - Close to everything!! Location can’t be beat. The apartment was very well appointed and we lacked for nothing. Hot water, YES!! Plenty closet space. Comfortable bed, good bathroom! The host was friendly & responsive. Arranged our transportation back to Napoli Centrale. Help with the luggage up steep stairs upon arrival was VERY helpful! Bravo e grazie! My husband who initially balked at the gritty entrance ended up loving our stay here! And we fell absolutely in love with Naples & the friendly inhabitants. The exterior & hallway are sketchy, but this is old, OLD Naples, so not unexpected! Once you get into the room, the short trip from alley to door to upstairs is forgotten. It didn’t bother us at all, though my husband who is 75 had an issue with the luggage and the stairs being so steep & tight. Meet-Greet location could be better explained. We had a driver who had to speak with someone twice to get to the location. We would never have been able to do it! It caused a bit of anxiety for me. I would suggest Piazza Jesu del Nuovo as a perfect drop-off/pick up location. At least from a guest perspective. The apt is only steps away! Providing guests with very specific instructions to give to a driver would be super helpful and maybe alleviate a little potential anxiety.
• Pavel (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect. The communication with the host was good. The street is noisy but it’s a center:)
• Martin (9/5): A great little place in a lively area of Naples. - Nice location in the historic part of Naples. Step out into the street and straight into an abundance of shops, bakeries and landmarks. The host was friendly and helpful and the room was cosy and had all the necessities. The place was a bit tough to find, but luckily the host helped us out. The room might be noisy, depending on the other guests in the BNB.
• N (7/5): B & B with great location, clean, modern with some challenges - Il Balconcino was clean and in a prime location for seeing the Old City of Naples. The room was large and modern and the facilities were modern and in good working order. The owner was very friendly and offered numerous ideas for restaurants and places to go. He set up a reservation for us at a fabulous small local restaurant the first night and helped orient us to the city. The b and b is very hard to locate, cars can't drive down the road necessitating you be dropped off several blocks away and google maps does not function well in the area. When you arrive in a foreign city after a long flight it is stressful to have to work so hard to find your hotel. There is one small banner on a second floor balcony and a small sign on the doorbell you have to look for. The room locks are difficult and the owner noted he has to replace them regularly. The place is on the second story and while many of the complex's apartment's residents appeared to being the 70's and 80's and had no trouble, traveling with heavy luggage, small children or as in my case, an elderly parent, made access difficult especially after a long day of walking around. There is no housekeeping while you are there but you have access to towels and linens and can clean your own room. Last, there were several communication issues. We texted our flight arrival information but no one was there to let us in when we arrived, and there were room taxes and apparently my mother was not listed as a second guest so we had to pay to pay those fees in cash upon arriving and did not get a receipt. The driver that the owner arranged to pick us up never arrived or was outside where we could not find him.
• Sara (8/5): Very good! - Location. Appartment clean, perfect for a stay in the city center.
• Mohammad (8/5): Very good -
• Marta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bonny (6/5): Pleasant -
• Huub (8/5): Amazing location, friendly staff. The alley & entrance needs a bit of cleanup - The location was amazing and the hostess was very friendly. The value for money was a bit out of balance. The alley and rickety entrance are authentic but also somewhat dirty and unwelcoming.
• Kate (8/5): Very good - Great location, heart of old town, close to everything buzzing the whole time, decent, comfortable and exceptionally clean room and a good size even with two adults and two teenagers. Had basic cooking facilities. The host was helpful and friendly and waited for our late arrival, gave useful recommendations. Room had good air con which was essential in July. We closed up and could not hear the very noisy street outside. However it's really noisy most of the time so if you want peace, look elsewhere or avoid Naples altogether! Cute wee balcony was a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return. Not much to complain about but a couple of things to note. We arrived late at night after a delayed flight and the place is not too obvious to find, no sign as far as we could see and no proper reception or anything, just rooms. So do check exact location and directions before you arrive and hook up with your host in advance. Luckily Lorenzo kept in touch and was looking out for us as we wandered up what seemed like a dark alley at about midnight in the old town, thank you Lorenzo....The entrance is on a bit of a New York type back alley!! Remember this is the old town of Naples!!! Once inside up the stairs it was absolutely fine. Breakfast was a coffee and a pastry in the cafe below. Fine for us. Fourth bed was a little small and might not have been great for a full sized adult. My younger teenager is a wee guy, it was fine for him.
• Aurel (2/5): Very poor -
• Renee (10/5): It was a wonderful stay. - The location is perfect and central to everything. It’s walkable to all transport and many sites. Our host was friendly and helpful.
• L (8/5): perfect location. great host, nice 2 bedroom unit for small families - terrific location! the place was perfect for myself and my sons, and we were all able to spread out and enjoy. the host was fantastic and very responsive. also helped the team spoke English!
• Uri (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location and a spacious, clean and comfortable room. Lorenzo went out of his way to make us feel at home. Everything was perfect, but keep in mind you have to go up two levels by stairs.
• Jeff (9/5): great stay and great value - great location, very clean, large size rooms (we had a suite) the location and the cleanness, the host is very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. On the last day we requested to postpone the checkout time by one hour and the host was very helpful.
• Bertila (10/5): Exceptional - Perfectly located in the middle of the old historical center of Napoli. Lorenzo, the owner is very friendly, he speaks english really well and is very organised. He suggested us some places to go and were goos suggestions. The apartment is clean and nicely done. The cleaning lady was as well very nice and friendly and asked if we needed something. We definitely reccomend it!
• Lea (10/5): excellent. Lorenzo is very kind and helpful. Gives you all information you need. -
• Anna (10/5): Location, location, location!! - Spotlessly clean, all the amenities one could ask for! We knew in advance that the property is in an old building with very hard to climb stairs and a bit cumbersome in terms of getting in and out. Also, it’s on a main street , and the folks in the city love to party!!
• Nendaif (9/5): Superb -
• Sarah (8/5): Very good - The location was incredible; it was very convenient to be right in the historic center. The room was clean and comfortable, and Lorenzo was very helpful. This is not Lorenzo's fault, but I realized after checking in that I should have checked if the property had an elevator. I was traveling with an older relative and the three flights to the room were a bit much for her.
• Meryam (9/5): Superb - The location of the accommodation is perfect The host was so friendly and supportive. He recommended us many places. The appartment was clean and well equipped. The bed was not comfortable
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great. The rooms are large, comfortable, and clean. It is within walking distance to everything. Our host, Lorenzo, was very nice and helpful. Nothing.
• Ouslam (10/5): Amazing stay in an amazing B&B - Excellent location very close to everything specially the very popular streets Via Toledo and Spaccanapoli. Spacious appartement very well maintained, very well equipped and very clean. Peaceful sleeping as beds are perfectly comfortable and no disturbing noise Kitchen very well equipped with all you need. Amazing Wi-Fi. Lorenzo, the manager, is extremely helpful and always available anytime even in early morning to provide any service you request. He was waiting for our arrival after midnight knowing that check-in after midnight for free is extremely rare in Naples. Nothing.
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Heather (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (9/5): Superb -
• Tomo (10/5): An amazing host and the location in the heart of Naples. - The host Lorenzo and location.
• Jessica (10/5): wonderful, would stay again! - the room was well maintained, clean, spacious and a great location. our host contacted us the day before our arrival and offered a pick up (for a fee) from the airport or train. we decided to get a taxi and gave an estimated arrival time. Alex met us in the street as we arrived to take us to the room and an intro to the area. it is down a small alley way with an old entrance (as expected in the historic centre!) but once inside the room you will see that it is newly renovated. Lorenzo messaged us recommendations for local eateries later that day which was greatly appreciated. breakfast was in a nearby cafe with great coffee and selection of pastries. delicious and more than we expected! we stored our luggage while we went to Pompeii on the day we checked out and come back that afternoon to pick it up, no troubles. would definitely stay here again, our only regret is not having an extra night to explore Naples more! nothing - it was great value for money. it is a bnb with no reception so we did not expect hotel facilities and was rated on this basis.
• Ricardas (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. Easy to walk everywhere. Clean and big room, with a balcony towards the square and lively street. Helpful host. Top place for true Napolitan experience.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mihaela (9/5): Superb - Very good location at Jesu Nuovo. Room was exactly what we needed. Italian breakfast (pasticceria and cofee) at the bar downstairs. Lorenzo and Alex gave us a lot of tips and usefull informations about the city. The noise coming from the street all night long.
