After a small amount of miss communication when we arrived we found Fabio to be most friendly and helpful. The apartment more than met our expectations and it's location has you right in the middle of the local bustling community so as one can experience local culture first hand. Fabio also has wine available at very reasonable cost which is helpful.
We found out there is a free shuttle bus very close to the apartment which takes you to various attractions including the central station, that journey taking around 15 mins.
To find the free shuttle leave the apartment & turn left into Via Butera & walk 2-3 mins where you'll find the free service which runs every 15 mins.
We also needed a to use a laundry during our stay & found one located at Via Volturno No 62. I left some business cards in the apartment for any following guests. The owner is very helpful & speaks perfect English.
A day trip to Mondello Beach is very pleasant & easy enough on the local bus services, you need to change buses once.
There is quite a lot of road noise that carries up to the apartment so take ear plugs if that bothers you.
There is construction happening on the building opposite so expect some early morning noise at present.
