Naples Apartment

Bill and I have rented an apartment on the top floor of this building in the historical centre of Naples.

 Our host, Daniele, was waiting for us in the apartment when we arrived -- bless him! 

 We went out on the small balcony to take in the view -- here of the Corso Umberto I -- one of the main arteries of the city,

At the end of this little vicolo there is a small restaurant and an old fashioned barber shop. We had our first lunch in the restaurant and later got great Napolitano haircuts.

Our apartment is a modern white cube with a ground floor kitchen and couch below a cleverly designed mezzanine with the bed, washroom and wardrobe.

 Let's look around upstairs.

 Very comfortable bed tucked away at one end of the mezzanine. That's the door to the washroom beside it.

At the other end of the mezzanine we have a wardrobe and dresser. Lots of room for our clothes.

 It is fun to look down to the main floor.

 Descending the stairs it is difficult not to sashay.

 When we rent an apartment we always look for a solid table where we can write in our notebooks and use our laptop. Note the good light above the table -- something else we prize.

There is also a good light over the couch. I'm currently halfway through Bram Stoker's Dracula and enjoying it so much I don't want it to end. Bill just finished re-reading Woolf's The Waves and is about to start the new Camilleri.

The couch is also directly across from the balcony with encourages much idle contemplation. This place is perfect!
