Gwendalina's friend met me and was very nice to show me around during my late arrival. The apartment is up a lot of stairs and down some hallways so she also led me back out to the street level and back up to the apartment so that I was confident that I could find it again by myself (which by the way you totally can, it isn't hard). This location is absolutely unbeatable. At night, you can listen to live music while sipping your prosecco on the patio overlooking the duomo. In the mornings, you can hear the fishermen from the market yelling about their goods while you drink coffee up there and take in the sun. everything that the historic district has to offer is at your fingertips. The bedroom can also be made very dark which I LOVE but as a result, we accidentally slept past the checkout time (also due to the 9 hour time difference from Catania and Seattle) but she was very understanding. We've already booked our second stay in this cozy apartment!
