Our stay in Daniele's apartment was our first experience with Airbnb and we had a wonderful time. Daniele and his friend (very sorry, such a nice guy but I don't remember his name) were very kind to us and caring. It was easy to communicate with them. Daniel provided information on how to best get to the apartment from airport, and he meet with us in the middle of the way to guide us, since the apartment is kind of hidden. When we arrived at the apartment everything was on place, clean and tidy, decorated in very beautiful colours. Even though the apartment doesn't has parking, Daniele indicated us a street where to park, and it was very safe. The apartment is situated on the second floor of a house, so we had the chance to say hi to Daniele's nonna every once in a while, a very nice lady, always smiling. He also went with us to the supermarket to do our first grocery shopping. Bakery, supermarket and pizza place are very close to the apartment. The apartment has a very nice open space to cook and have dinner. We loved having our meals in the veranda.
The street itself is quiet and the beach was only a few meters away, so you can easily walk to get there, very convenient.
The location is great, since you can reach the highway easily and is just a few minutes from Castellammare. As a good host, Daniele also suggested to us places to visit.
Even though is a one bedroom apartment, it has plenty space for 4 people. We felt very homely. The only thing that we could mention is the air conditioner. Even though the apartment has a portable air conditioner, the way it is disposed is not efficient, being that the window has to remain opened to place the exhaust outside of the apartment, so the cool air is wasted. This fact doesn't allow the proper cooling of the room, however it was refreshing enough to sleep well. Since to use of the air conditioner must paid separately, we suggest to make the arrangements in order to have an air conditioner well installed.
Daniele was such a wonderful host that when we got a parking ticket, he took care of us: we gave him the money to pay the parking ticket and he did that errand for us, avoiding us to waste our vacation time with annoying errands. We thank him for that!
For sure, we recommend a stay in Daniel’s apartment. We had a lovely vacation :)
