The room is exactly as shown in the pictures, big and comfortable. The only problem is that there isn't even a fan. No air-conditioning is fine, but right now Sicily seems to be on fire it's so hot, so it was a bit difficult to fall asleep in a room without even a fan. Anyhow, we didn't get to meet Lidia, but Federico was a very nice and kind host. He recommended a great restaurant and the location of the apartment is great. Plus, there's an elevator, which also helps a lot.
