I spent a month working remotely at Saro's place, which was absolutely perfect. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped, with a large desk, and an extremely comfortable bed. The building is secured by a locked gate and feels completely safe. And, of course, the stunning view of Etna! I also enjoyed the fact that Saro and Irene lived upstairs. They were very kind and responsive and made me feel at home. I got loads of recommendations from them and they even messaged me when Etna erupted so that I didn't miss the spectacle. The only downside was a bit of traffic noise but it was quiet from around 11 pm to 7 am, so it didn't affect my sleep. Besides, it's a city, so you rather don't expect complete silence anyway.
