Olivia was a gracious host, even from a distance! The apartment had most of what we needed in order to stay there for a week. We did have to buy a few staples (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc) that would have been nice to have on hand.

Pictures are accurate; the view outside is simply beautiful, especially at dusk. You hear a fair amount of noise from outside, which includes anyone walking or driving by. Didn't particularly bother us.

There's a washer included, which was great. Nearby grocery store, just up the hill (but beware, they close during the early afternoon!), and a small cafe/bar within a 5 minutes' walk.

Modica can be tough to get around if you don't speak Italian, since few residents there speak English. We figured it out (and you certainly can too), but it took some effort. Beaches are around 30 minutes away and beautiful; we recommend Plaja Grande. Restaurants are mostly good; if you visit Modica, don't miss La Contea. A great restaurant in the center of town! Right off Courso Umberto I, by one of the traffic circles.

There were some tiny ants in the apartment, so we had to be extra careful about keeping everything thoroughly clean. Hopefully that's fixed soon.

Overall I'd give it 4/5 stars. A very good place to stay at a very reasonable price, but a few kinks here and there.
