We spent 6 nights on Lipari, hosted by Ezio. Ezio was very kind and attentive and also allowed us plenty privacy. When we arrived he collected us from the port and brought us and our bags to the apartment. On departure day he brought us from the apartment to the port. (It's not far to walk but with bags in the heat the gesture was much appreciated). Ezio also gave us restaurant recommendations - all excellent - and suggestions for things to do.
We did boat tours: one day we went to Vulcano, Panarea and Stromboli; another we did a tour of Salina ( we were also supposed to come back via the west side of Lipari but it was too windy). Another day we hired a car and drove around Lipari.
The apartment is well-located. Only 5 minutes walk to the main street with its shops, bars, restaurants etc. 10 minutes to the hydrofoil port, maybe a little more to the Marina Corta or pleasure port. Everything close by without being in the noisy part of town.
Equipment in the apartment is as advertised. Some things (cutlery for example) were a little basic but perfectly adequate for our needs. Wifi reliable.
