Beautiful apartment, equipped great for both short and longer stays. Alessia is very helpful and replies to messages quite quickly. She is very knowledgeable about the city and surrounding events and places. Checking in at a later hour was not a problem either.
The staircase makes a beautiful impression. The apartment is as beautiful as in the photos.
Hard to get a skyline view from the balcony, but the one available is also nice. You can look into plates of guests of the restaurant across the street ;)
The location of the apartment is also very favourable in terms of proximity to stores or places to eat. A few minutes to the "Famila" store, "Lidl" and other small local stores. The neighborhood is very rustic and picturesque.
Vucciria is very close, cheap and expensive restaurants in walking distance, waterfront for jogging.
You have to be prepared for noise from the street. Due to the fact that there is a restaurant across the street, in the evenings you can hear noises until late, and from the morning the sound of vendors-deliveries and people going to work. There are also a lot of loud motorcycles passing under the windows at various times of the night, which can awaken even the hardest sleeper.
The bed in the bedroom is short for a tall European, the length of the mattress is probably 180-190 cm, which was a big surprise. The mattress in the bed is very hard, the hardest I've ever slept on.
By unfortunate coincidence, renovation work has begun in the neighbouring building, and from 8 am onward annoying noises can be heard.
