The place is very clean and it has amazing views of the hills, including Mt. Pellegrino, and the sea. You can walk to the center in about 10 minutes. I never took the bus while I was there, because I could walk to everything I wanted to see, but the bus is just outside the building and it will take you anywhere in the city. There is a great walking path across the street right next to the sea. Gabriella gave me a huge list of local recommendations. I didn’t need to do much research on my own, and her tips were all good ones. She responded to my questions and stayed in touch throughout my stay. If there was any issue, it was resolved as soon as humanly possible. She lives in the building and is always ready to help. Great place and great host. I highly recommend it.
