Massimo's apartment is very nice and matches the description. He gave quick responses and helped us with transfers from the airport and restaurant recommendations. We really liked the location, 5 mins walk to Piazza Plebiscito, 10 mins to Toledo metro. The main street to the upmarket Chiara area starts just around the corner. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance. We can recommend pizza pavia around the corner for a simple local experience. We also enjoyed Osteria Matonella, and Antico tipico Signora Bettola. The Bourbon tunnel just around the corner was a good experience for a bit of history with guided tour underground. We also enjoyed the views from St Elma castle - reach via Chiara funicular (nice walk down via Mille posh shops to get there) or Toledo central funicular. Costs €5 entry but good view of the bay. Would recommend.
