Map of Napoli: what to visit

Where to stay

I want to recommend you a place for spending the time in Napoli. It is Bed & Breakfast Ninarella, which seems to be a small family business that is very well organized. The rooms are clean, nice and the position of the B&B is very good, very close to the port.
