The flat is located at the very top of the city, which was nice and quiet and great for parking our rental car. The view was decent, unfortunately it rained the entire stay so we were not able to see Mt. Etna, which was one of the things we liked most about the flat. Downtown was easily accessible. I would recommend people do their research with what is open during “non peak season”. Coming from California, we had no idea there was an “off season” where a lot of food and stores are closed. We did not find this out until we arrived and struggled to find dinner, however, breakfast was easy. We appreciated the heater throughout the flat because it was cold out. Also the washer, drying rack, and iron were life savors. Would recommend during good weather season.
