The apartment was exactly described, and a real bargain for what it offered. Indeed, the location is nestled into the Mercato del Capo with access to all of its daily fresh fruits and fish, sounds and smells. As such, it was really a pleasure to cook at the apartment and relax with the windows open. Nevertheless, many good restaurants were just a 5 minute walk around the Teatro Massimo area, which is host to a strong opera house, and is the 3rd biggest in Europe I was surprised to find out. Davide was very attentive and helpful in hosting us and always responded quickly to questions. In all, a great location to use as home base to explore the old city.
