I had a pleasant experience staying at Carmen's place. It was a great value during the most important festival of the year. There is a large shared bathroom and shared kitchen, but since I was the only guest at the time, my stay required no sharing. The apartment is located not very far from the center of town or the bus stop. It is on a steep hill. The breakfast was sparce, but adequate. Carmen provided an individual coffee maker, milk, juice, water, toast, packaged croissants, jam, and Nutella. There are cooking implements. In the morning I was awakened by the sounds of the city and its boisterous inhabitants, but at night it was quiet. I had difficulty opening the main door, but Carmen was always kindly available to assist me. Have her show you how to pull the door with your right hand while you turn the key to the right with your left hand. Returning late at night tipsy from wine is not the best time to realize you cannot open the door! The bedroom was spacious. A trash can in the bedroom and in the kitchen would be helpful. All in all, Carmen's place was a great value in one of my favorite Sicilian cities. Grazie mille, Carmen.
