Antonio and his wife were very welcoming and tried to help as much as possible. Their English was limited but I speak some Italian and we got by with the information we needed.
The flat is small but functional. It is the top floor so there is quite a climb up 4 floors. Not fun if you pack the kitchen sink in with your luggage like my girlfriend..! We enjoyed the view from the terrace onto the town hall clocks and down into the street of you stood up and looked over the wall. Personal taste but we didn't like the blue bulb bedside lights! Some basic provisions were there on arrival, tea bags, sugar etc. We did not cook there but the cooker is adequate, although they could definitely do with a new fridge which was missing the bar on the door shelf which meant you could not put milk, wine etc in it.
If you like your showers, be warned that the water pressure is non-existent, more of a trickle. This was no fault of Antonio however, but obviously the whole building had no water pressure.
The apparetment is very central location but as a note I'd recommend a lot of time reviewing transport in the local area because despite apparently being the public transport hub of north west Sicily, trying to find your way around is not easy. After 4 days there we realised that the boat trips are pretty pointless as the islands themselves are nothing special - you're far better off renting bikes and picknicking on the salt flats - cheaper and far more interesting.
