My wife and I stayed in late October (best time to go to Sicily - it was 24 degrees and sunny every day). The apartment is in a great location, steps to all the action. The balcony is spacious with great views and has everything you need. The pictures are accurate. It is on a bus route so there will be some noise but it is more than made up for by the view and the amenities. Vincenzo was a great host and I highly recommend unit 4 I Due Grifoni.
