Buy a Metronapoli ticket (at the yellow kiosks as well as shops around: the 3 euro day pass is a good deal).
La Controra is close to Salvator Rosa metro stop on Line 1: if you come from Napoli Centrale train station, take metro Line 2 until stop Cavour, then change to Line 1, Piscinola direction. Once in Salvator Rosa station, take escalators up and follow exit signs to Santa Croce. - WARNING! FROM AUGUST UNTIL CHRISTMAS 2007 DUE TO CONSTRUCTIONS EXIT SANTA CROCE IS CLOSED: ALWAYS GO DOWN THE HILL IN ORDER TO FIND THE HOSTEL - When you emerge, go down hill keeping on the left hand.
Piazzetta Trinità alla Cesarea is on the left: it is not the first alley you find (Vico San Mandato), it is the second alley, basically, a little stairway with a crumbling church on top. Walk toward it - we are tucked just around the corner to the left.
