Andrea was a great and responsive host. Check in was smooth and easy. The apartment is huge and over 2 levels. I didn't use the kitchen to cook but it seemed to be well equipped. The location of the apartment is great for the Mercato del Capo, however it is a 10min walk to the popular 'via Maqueda' via dark and sometimes not so safe looking streets. I was a solo female and didn't feel safe coming back late at night even though Andrea assured me it was okay. The street is also occupied by families, so the neighbours TV was constantly on and the kids playing in the alley were quite loud - not the most relaxing sleep, but other than this the place had everything I needed and felt very secure. The big highlight for me was definitely the proximity to the Mercato del Capo. I parked in a nearby square as instructed by Andrea, there was no problem finding a place, but it is important to note that the streets to get in and out of the square are very very tight (two way traffic) so i would recommend a small car for this area.
