We arrived in Salina one day after our reservation as the ferries had been cancelled due to bad weather. However, the hosts were extremely flexible about this and always replied generously to our questions. On arriving, the representative who handed us the keys was helpful and informative. There was no running water due to ferries being unable to dock, but the representative had prepared buckets that we could use while we were waiting for water to arrive.

Other advantages of the apartment are that it is situated in a beautiful area with a spectacular view. The open plan kitchen and bathroom opens onto a phenomenal terrace with lovely chairs for relaxing and a breathtaking sea vista! The flat is also near restaurants, shops, and a scooter rental place in the centre of the town. For an upmarket meal, Hotel Sigma is nearby.

The flat can be a little tricky to find, but with adequate preparation (just tell taxi or bus drivers that it is opposite "BnB A'alara") it shouldn't pose too much of a problem! Guests should be prepared to buy all of their own food and basic cooking ingredients if they want to use the kitchen, and the squeamish should note that cockroaches are a staple experience of southern Italian flats in the summertime!

We had a wonderful stay despite our initial ferry issues, and would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a reasonably priced and beautiful place to stay while in Salina.
