We stayed the entire month of September as we were trying to experience the real Sicily. This location was perfect for our base location. There are scads of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance. Transportation is extremely convenient to/from/excursions. As Claudia states, this apartment is certainly near the nightlife scene, so plan for lively music until after midnight most nights. Claudia helped us personally on several occasions with her recommendations. The apartment is clean, comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. We cooked on our own meals over half the time during our stay.
