We had a fabulous stay at Nicola and Maria's apartment! Nicola greeted us on the street and directed us to the apartment where Maria greeted us with cannoli. What a great way to start our trip! They provided us with local event/attraction literature, personal tips on where to eat, and local maps. They even provided two large waters and plenty of juice, croissants, and yogurt that lasted our entire stay. The location was perfect. We had considered a few other apartments before choosing Nicola's and I cannot tell you how happy we were with our choice. We walked nearby some of the other locations and this location right next to Piazza San Domenico could not be beat! It's a short walk to the marina where we ran along the water and a block or two from the Vucciria market. The local restaurants were excellent (we had a great time at Casareccio) and most of the attractions were within easy walking distance. I was traveling with my adult daughter and we felt completely safe at all times! The apartment is large with plenty of room to spread out. I highly recommend Nicola's apartment and hope that I'm fortunate enough to visit again!
