The apartment is spectacular. And Francesco is a great host. The photos don't actually do justice to this place. It is a very large and airy place, totally renovated and decorated with nice furnishing. Two good sized balconies also add to this place and are a perfect place to sit and read or simple watch day to day Sicilian life.
The kitchen has everything required for the self-caterer and there is a large supermarket across the street. There is also a large street market just a few short blocks away for a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The location is an easy 20 minute walk to the historic centre, but the Metro and local buses are also very nearby.
I would highly recommend this apartment to individuals, couples and small families.
