Location is quite good for Centro (downtown), though some moderate walking will always be involved — which the experienced traveler will turn to an advantage.

To find on foot, go to the Castello Ursino; then walk (north) toward the restaurant Al Borgo di Federico (there is a kiosk immediately by it), then keep going 50 ft, keeping the restaurant on your immediate right; then turn left into the alley.

The apartment is high-quality construction, and has a washer which is a great convenience. Ceilings are high, so tall people can feel comfortable — though always take care going through doors and stairs in Italy. The balcony is small but nice for taking a break in the fresh air, or for hanging laundry — it catches some nice rays several times a day. The wifi is reliable. The furnishings are low-cost and sparse; Diego has plans to add more, and hopefully gradually improve the quality; a large area-rug in front of the sofa would also add to the comfort.

The square in front is occupied by Bohemians. They hang out, dance in the streets and play music, especially on weekends. There is no danger, they are very nice, and there are even children, but fair warning. The exterior doors of the apartment are well insulated, and by the time you also close the bedroom door, there is perfect silence and darkness.

Speaking of the Al Borgo di Federico, this is a premier restaurants at low cost. They use a real grill. The staff is extremely attentive, taking turns pacing up and down looking for issues from all the customers. I ate there almost every day.
