The apartment was lovely, exactly as in the photos, in a very convenient location, and with street parking nearby. Vanessa's mother greeted us, showed us where to park, and was very welcoming. Vanessa had left a 'best of' list - best gelati, aperativi, things to do etc - that we certainly found useful.

We also appreciated how responsive Vanessa was when we contacted her for advice about walking at Mt Etna.
