As an American traveling to Sicily, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the apartment was in a lively wonderful part of the city. You are walking distance from many great restaurants and bars with tons of shopping and sightseeing close by. The apartment stays nice and dark, allowing us plenty of time to sleep in. Be aware that in the complex, sound does travel and you can hear people coming into the building at all times. The building is safe and secure with strong AC to cool down from the day, would absolutely stay here again!
