The apartment is very cozy and homey. The kitchen was well stocked with a welcome basket and the essentials for a comfortable stress free stay. The hostess, Alessandra, was exceptional. She was extremely communicative and easy to get in touch with. She greeted us and made sure we were oriented with location of supermarkets and great nearby restaurants. She helped us with taxis and organized a superb private tour to Mt Etna and lunch at a winery. (Our guide Natalie was also very good, experienced and accommodating).
Overall, we loved the apartment, location and hostess
