Ivan was an attentive and helpful host. He had to visit his mother during our stay but stayed in daily contact by phone. He organised a taxi from Comiso airport at the standard rate(35euros), purchased(at our request) and delivered an order of fresh food for us. He also arranged a restaurant reservation for our first night.
There is a good choice of restaurants and food shops in the resort. Unfortunately the airport bus doesn't coincide with the Ryanair flight from London but taxis were efficient and not too expensive. You don't need a car for a short stay but for a longer stay you might want one or to book day tours. The bus service was cheap and efficient but only really goes to Ragusa(well worth a day trip). You can walk, cycle or bus to Punta Secca as well(Inspector Montalbano's house). People in general were very friendly and helpful.
The apartment is clean, spacious and secure with lovely views and a very short walk to a sandy beach. It is in a quiet area with safe and easy street parking outside. About 4 minutes stroll to the beach and 10 to the town centre.
