We stayed for 2 nights in the apartment. We were met by Pia, who is a lovely host. She gave us many tips about Sicilian food and some recommended sites. She even went to get a second set of keys cut for us on the day of arrival upon our request.
The apartment itself was big and bright. It was very minimally decorated/furnished and there was no lounge area, which made relaxing restricted to the bed only.
It's worth noting that due to there being no air-conditioner and it being summer, we had to sleep with the windows open which meant mosquito bites.
I would recommend this apartment for young groups travelling rather than couples or families wanting a more 'homely' experience.
