This was our first visit of Napoli. When I came to "centro storico" close to our accomodation around Saturday midnight I was somehow shocked and did not feel very comfortable. Imagine very, but really very narrow streets with very high buildings ( some of them 5-6 storeys ), everything gray/black, all buildings painted by graffiti ..., indeed not nice view. And hundreds or even thousands of mainly young people outside so that was very difficult to go through. And bigggg noise of the people and small scooters. I thought - my gosh, how we will be able to sleep in such environment. We went into the small yard through big massive doors, reminding the fortress, than through other barred entrance into the house, took the lift ( we really had to pay 10 cents per journey) and through another massive doors got into the B&B. The receptionist showed us our room and suddenly we felt like in another world. Spacy room with the doors to lovely terrace giving private space sorrounded by green plants. And quiet ! We even could sleep with the doors open to the terrace. Incredible difference from the outside world. The room was cleaned daily, perfect ! The key advice for some travellers - if you want to stay in the hotel in Centro storico and sleep, make sure that you are given the room facing inner yards and NOT the streets. Unless you accept to have the windows closed and air con on. Medea and its Superior room with the terrace is really great option !!! I am not sure about other rooms ! However - I got used to the style of the living in this part of Napoli and it was in the end very nice and special experience. But deffinitely not for sleeping..... The reception staff was nice, the young man was very helpfull giving us some good advices, we even could leave the luggage in the storey antil afternoon the day we were leaving.
