hosts were very helpful, made us feel at home. large, 2 story duplex with 3 big br on second floor, we used two. large kitchen has every convenience. big living room and dining table. patio with table and chairs. two king-size beds very comfy with reading lights. single bed was too hard for us, like a futon. there are two heaters/ac units on second floor, but only one can operate at a time or the circuit breaker blows. we ran one heater in the hallway and opened the doors to the bathroom and bedrooms. downstairs was basically the same temperature as outside, about 45 degrees at night, 55 in day. we moved a computer table to the second floor to work. fast internet. running the water a long time to wash dishes fires up a water pump, which blew the circuit breaker twice in a week. security very high with barred doors and windows, two locked gates. many supermarkets and two good cafes 10 minutes away. palermo is 40 minutes away, but parking is tough. 5 to 10 percent of vehicles are double parked. traffic flows like water, any gap is filled.
we were the only occupied house on the street, got a lot of work done. weather in early March is chilly, snow on the peaks. balconies on each bedroom. high ceilings.
we would come back again, when the weather was warmer. a heater under the dining room table with an overhanging tablecloth might solve the temp problem, or a pellet stove. 3.5 kw max limits options
