It's great value for money if you are not travelling alone, apartment is huge. I only used the 2balconies for chilling and dining. The living room was sitting unused if u travelled with friend you will find the two single beds accommodating the purpose quite well but if you are a couple then it ain't gonna work to your advantage (they will be pushed together just)During the day it's very warm because you have direct sun. You will be able to sea Etna from side balcony in dinning room's balcony from the front it's the view of primary school, sea in the horizon (can't walk /bus needed), carpark (for residential and other cars and a cemetery on the right hand side. Feeling the warm weather really compensate for the car park view. Neighbouhood is all block building apartments. I suggest choosing this apartment if you are renting a car or have money on taxi to leave and get back late at night. Because it's downtown Sicily that you are staying at so safety first. During the day you have nothing to be worried about. There is no late night bus operating. Just 365 during the day. Family is very nice and welcoming, I loved Mama Rose, she's a sweetheart, she offered to give me a lift to airport even :)
