Gabriele was kind enough to pick me up at the bus station, which was especially great because I didn't research well the distance from the bus station to the apartment. He showed me everything in the apartment and gave me some tips about where to eat, etc. The flat was perfect for my needs. Great view from the balcony, which included the sea, the town, and Mt. Etna. I had my coffee there every morning. The place was close enough to easily walk to the historic center, but far enough away that there was little noise at night. I stayed for 5 nights and liked it so much that I even looked into extending my stay, but the place was already completely booked up for the entire month. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
