The apartment is on the top floor of a three story building. It is a modern attractive apartment in a relatively quiet neighborhood. At night it is very quiet, excellent for sleeping. It is within easy walking distance of many excellent bars and restaurants, cathedrals and palaces. One of the things we enjoyed most was the availability of quality music including opera at the Massimo and the Sicilian symphony at the Politeama, both within close walking distance. Tickets were easy to obtain and we thoroughly enjoyed the high quality performances. Valentina is an excellent hostess and very quick to respond to any questions.
