Truly a special find - the combination of unique apartment and wonderful host made for a really terrific stay. The apartment is every bit as cool, interesting and stylish as the pictures show — a really well-thought modern renovation of an old space, incorporating elements of the ancient stone work to contrast beautifully with the clean, contemporary new finishes. The neighborhood is dripping with character and history - colorful, chaotic, full of things to discover: don’t miss the street theatre of the fish market, or the sublime art collections in the Civic Museum in the Castello Ursino. And Diego was a wonderful host: responsive, helpful with directions and advice, very engaged but never intrusive — just the right balance to make for an all-around great experience.
