Fantastic value for money. The shower water pressure was good and strong. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee provided with fresh fruit and almonds bought from the nearby market. Our host, Giuseppa, was very friendly and helpful. They also kindly stored some of our luggage during our trip around Sicily.

The host is great, gave us all the informations we needed and even more. The room is really nice and comfortable. And most important close to the city center and pedestrian zone.
Street where apartment is, is not so nice, especially in the evening. Personally, wouldn't recommend it for girls alone at night. That is mostly picture of the whole city, but for this street also.

Very clean, bright and convenient location. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating - especially as our flight was very delayed and we were late arriving. Excellent value for money
