La Peonia

We found the room spacious, enjoyed the good breakfast, and the hosts were welcoming. The B&B is very close to Garibaldi, though it can be tricky to locate because the sign on the building's front is small. The lift setup may also confuse tourists: you need a 10 cent coin to use it and reach the seventh floor where the B&B is. Those were the only problems I found.

The simple breakfast was a nice extra, and getting around was easy with the train and metro station close by and plenty of places to eat nearby. Giuseppe welcomed us warmly and kindly shared tips on what to see in Naples. Before we arrived, we exchanged several emails explaining how to find the place and use the traditional coin-operated lift, so we had no trouble with it.

The balcony views of the city and mountains are lovely. The mattresses are quite firm, though, so this might not suit you if you like a softer bed. The people running the place are incredibly friendly, and they even give you a few coins for the elevator. They also know the city well and are honest when giving advice.

The sunrise over Vesuvius was spectacular. My room had everything I needed, plus a few extras. Management were really friendly and accommodating, so I'd happily stay here again and recommend it.
