AN APARTMENT IN CASTELLEMARRE DI STABIA


So this is what apartments in Italy look like. I didn't take any pictures, but let me describe it to you. The entrance was in an alley and we had keys to get into the building. Nearby was a very small market, (Kiosk size) that sold fresh fruit. We took the "lift" to the 5th floor and walked into a very large apartment. It had marble floors and was furnished with a combination of "your grandmas things" and some modern furniture. There were large glass doors in every room including the kitchen that opened up to balcony. These all had kind of a garage type door that covered them when we were not in the apartment. They opened up into courtyard to which many other apartments faced as well. At night we could open them and listen to the sounds of the city.
The one thing I was really impressed with in this apartment was the dish rack was in a cupboard above the sink, so you could wash them and put them away wet.


We used my phone to find our way directly to the place we were to meet the host Alexjendro so that he could guide us the rest of the way. Shan was awesome in taking charge of directions and guiding us safely to our destinations.

If he became frustrated Natalie was our anchor and would calmly make a suggestion/plan to get from point A to point B.
love this girl!

Together they make quite a confident team of travel companions. I was happy to be with them and by the way, really amazed that they were happy to have me with them.


We had 2 days here. We arrived around 6 pm and went to the beach which was about one block away, we had dinner at one of the restaurants that faced the beach and watched the sunset. I had the linguini with clams....so delicious.





The next day we went to Capri!!!
