Beautiful first floor apartment in a great location. The area is a busy one, but we were able to sleep. The bed is comfortable. On more than one occasion we climbed the 100+ stairs to the rooftop garden with some wine. My husband got a great photo of Mt. Etna from the roof, one clear morning. The apartment is spotless. Great courtyard with a laundry room (washer only), but there is a clothing rack to dry clothes and we were able to refresh our clothes half-way through our trip. Great restaurants and fish market within walking distance--and Giada/Marco provided some great suggestions for eating. One word of caution--the staircase is a beautiful architectural feature, but you must be careful as there are no railings. I navigated it with much caution. If you have mobility or balance issues you may want to consider an alternative.
