Simona's apartment is simply fabulous and exactly as it was described in her original description. The facilities are rather simple and very basic, but they are compensated by this incredible baroque style of the apartment that made me feel like I was living in a small castle :). The apartment is located in a very busy street, just a few minutes walk from many sights and the famous shopping street Via Etnea. The main train station is about 25' walk away (or by bus if you are lucky enough to get one or have the patience to wait). I enjoyed my stay very much. Simona is a great host and always available for any questions. noted that the house is old and therefore the windows are not well insulated. the street noise can be very loud, even at night. take earplugs if you are a light sleeper ;) Otherwise, I can really recommend this unique stay in Simona's house and would definitely book it again.
