the home is stylishly decorated. it looks impressive but not too practical when it comes to usability, like it lacks a comfy couch to rest on and carpet to cover the cold tiled floor. it was a bit cold to stay during dec time in sicily. there is a heater in the bedroom but it was very noisy when turned up the temperature making us impossible to use it during sleep at the end.
other than these, giovanni was a great host, very responsive to request we made. he can even cater to our request for a super early check-in at 8. the apartment is conveniently located which make it easy to walk to anywhere in the city for sightseeing. there is also a very nice wine bar serving good food and good wine downstairs.
