5 rooms on the first floor of an ancient building have been converted to a high standard into the equivalent of 3* hotel rooms. My high-ceilinged attractively designed corner room had two French windows, a modern well-equipped shower room, a comfortable double bed and good lighting. The room lacked anywhere to sit apart from the bed, but despite giving onto the narrow alleyways of the old Spanish Quarter was perfectly quiet at night, apart from occasional noises/snoring emanating from other rooms.
The owners do not live on site, so any communication has to be pre-arranged or made by phone. No cleaning, bed-making or breakfast are provided. Wifi is good but fades occasionally.
Vico Giardinetto can be tricky to find first time, but is located 200 yards from the exit of Toledo metro station in the direction of Castel Nuovo: the apartment is accessed through a dingy communal entrance.
The semi-pedestrianised Via Toledo is a permanent sea of drifting humanity, but many of Naples' main historic attractions and the island ferries are within easy walking distance.
The Hosteria Toledo immediately opposite the apartment was a disappointment; there are much better alternatives in the area (the pizza at Da Attilio is first-rate). Marino's caffe next to the apartment is ideal for a coffee and good brioche or pastry, plus lively chat. at breakfast.
