This is an exceptionally good airbnb apartment. Very clean, newly decorated and well equipped. The location is perfect - within a 5 minute walk of the cathedral, castle, Benedictine monastery (well worth a visit!) and roman theatre - and is surrounded by a wide choice of shops an restaurants. Even though it's very central it was very quiet inside the apartment and peaceful on the beautiful terrace. We found all three bedrooms to be very comfortable and well furnished with good mattresses, powerful air-conditioning and plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. The water pressure is good and both showers feel like power-showers. There is an elevator from the central courtyard up to the apartment and the spiral staircase up to the roof terrace is non-slip with good hand rails. I found it easy to use even though I have arthritic knees.
Laura and Marianne gave us very clear instructions on how to access the apartment and were there to greet us. Their English is limited but there is a very helpful manual in the apartment, in both English and Italian, with information about the apartment, prices and opening times of local attractions and restaurant recommendations.
We had a hire car (driving not recommended in Sicilian cities unless you have very fast reactions and a strong heart!) and could park it on the street outside at a very reasonable cost (€4.80 per day, free over night and on Sundays).
We are a group of 3 friends but the apartment would also be perfect for families. Would highly recommend!!
