The apartment is as great as it appears to be. Like in a dream. It's a beautiful, classy, cosy apartment with a great view and a great host. Claudio (and his brothers) were amazingly friendly and helpful. He waited for us at the harbour and showed us around. He was at disposition at any time and was very responsive beforehand. The weather wasn't as good as it could have been, but even if there was nothing to see on the island (which is far from the truth), the very stay at Claudio's apartment would be worth staying on Lipari.
