This was our first stop in our first AirBnB journey across Sicily and Italy. John was an excellent host by making all arrangements for us from the airport. Mokbul, who manages the apartment, was extremely helpful to us, especially on departure when we found we needed to park several blocks away after renting a car, and he helped with carrying the luggage.
The view from the top terrace is absolutely amazing. We arrived on Easter Sunday just as the sun was going down and we were awestruck. From the bathroom, you have a direct view to a beautiful church with a statue that is lit at night.
The market on the street below was a lot of fun to visit and buy from. I purchased several items from two young boys who claimed to be cousins, working separate tables, and prepared an amazing meal back at the apartment.
Some things to be aware of: this is an old historic building, so don't expect to have sparkling perfect decor. There are a lot of steps to climb to get to the apartment, so it is not suitable for anyone with a disability.
We enjoyed the place very much, just to be part of the history, for the view, and for the convenience of the market. We would definitely consider returning.
There are just some minor issues that prevented me from giving 5 stars. I only intend to be constructive. There is very little investment in the linens - the towels were very rough. The kitchen could use a few more implements for cooking. It would have been nice to have at least paper towels stocked. Coffee would be even better. And the water heater is very small, providing barely enough for a hot bath after which the next person will have to wait for more hot water. But weighing all the good against these things, I would definitely recommend this place.
