My partner and I stayed a Vera's place for over a month during the lockdown in November. It was perfect for us. The place is modernly decorated and has everything you would need for a long or short stay. It is also conveniently located just steps away from a great bakery where you can get fresh bread, a butcher with great sausages and a small supermarket, and then just down the street is Capo Market where you can get fresh fruit, veg, cheese, etc. as well as great Sicilian street food. It is also just a short walk away from the Cathedral and the historic old town. Vera is very helpful and attentive and kind. We had a great experience with her hosting us. The only cons: eventually my back started hurting from the bed (but I have a sensitive back), it can get quite loud on the street outside, one of the bathrooms has an unpleasant smell after it rains. But other than that, Vera's place is lovely.
