The Good , the Bad and the Ugly.1 st, this is a terrific location! Right in the middle of things and less than a 2 min walk to Piazza de Duomo and 3 min to the bus to and from the airport. Plenty of things to do right outside the door. Good strong WIFI. Bed is very comfortable . The Bad….extremely small, much smaller than it appears in the picture. When we arrived the door to the apartment was locked….the instructions said that it would be open. Had to contact a neighbor who has a key to let us it. The stairs to the loft was no less daunting. A climb up Mt. Etna is less steep. Air conditioning was suspect. The Ugly…the place is shabby at the seams(chairs that are coming apart, missing shower door handles etc). Hot water is unreliable. The worst thing is that the place is horribly under equipped for cooking. No sharp knives only table knives, 1 frying pan that has a concave bottom so is impossible to balance on the stove, few if any utensils, the list of missing things goes on. I have saved the best for last….the oven blows the fuse every time you turn it on…tried everything including turning off all electric including the AC. It is obvious that the owner does not want anyone to cook. This is all too bad because with a little attention this place could be above average because of its location.
