The apartment was absolutely fantastic! Very clean and modern, with well-thought out facilities available, including towels, extra pillows, kitchen implements, fresh coffee and washing powder if you needed it!

It was also in the local vicinity of the town centre (Valentina has plenty of books and maps in the apartment), roughly a 10-15 minute walk from the nearest piazza but a 5 minute walk from the main street which runs into the centre and has plenty of fast-food, tourist shops and beautiful churches to view on the way. There is also a great restaurant just around the corner, if you don't want to venture too far.

I would recommend for arrival having google maps available, as without it I'm not sure we would have been able to navigate from the bus stop to the apartment - although Valentina was great at keeping in contact and giving advice. There is also wifi in the apartment, which was extremely useful!

If you would like to visit Mondello (the beach) this is probably the only downside, as it's a 20 minute walk to the piazza with the bus stops to pick you up and take you there (but if you are spritely on your feet, it doesn't feel all that long!)

Unfortunately (I don't believe this was purposefully misleading) the apartment only has 1 bedroom, when the website specifies it has 2, which meant my friend and I had to share a bed! Therefore unless you are very close, I wouldn't recommend this for a friend holiday, as the bathroom is also very open.
The shower flooded the bathroom and we had to use our spare towels and additional bath mats to mop this up but I feel this is a minor flaw in the grand scheme of things.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the apartment, it has great facilities, a really fantastic location and it has everything you need to stay there for 2 days to 2 weeks. There was also a great bar called Vespa Cafe, with really friendly locals that provides aperitif style snacks and generous alcohol servings - most suitable for a slightly younger crowd (I'm 25 and my friend is 30) but appropriate for everyone in early evening - definitely worth a visit to experience the local culture and a beautiful setting.
