The place is in a perfect location. In the centre, next to Porta Messina and close enough to walk up from the bus stop (6 mins) for buses that take you to Messina, Catania etc. The view from the apartment is amazing - just be prepared for a couple of flights of steep stairs and a spiral staircase. Daniela was great with communication, she sent us messages when the date approached with all the details, directions and contacts. We met Antonio, her dad, who came to meet us and kindly carried the suitcase up the stairs and also bought us some Esse pastries for breakfast :)
