It is a perfectly clean and absolutely well-organized flat in a tidy Italian building with a green courtyard. Sara equipped it with literally everything, starting from all kitchen utensils, through bath cosmetics, towels, serviettes and linen, finishing with a baby chair and even toys for our dog! :) We were greeted with a bottle of Sicilian wine, a bottle of Sicilian olive oil and a pack of Italian coffee - traditional regional products to start good holiday with. Cold water waiting in the fridge. A collection of books in Italian (travel, art, politics - as you wish). A dishwasher, a washing machine, air conditioning, wi-fi, cable tv, kitchen equipment - all worked well. Quiet and friendly neighbours.
Location for me was perfect - at the outskirts of the old town (centro storico 5 minutes away) but at the same time already in the part inhabited mainly by Italians, not tourists. Ballaro Market - 5 minutes away, Via Maqueda - 5 minutes away, Central Train Station - 3 minutes away, Lidl Supermarket - 5 minutes away. Plenty of restaurants, bars, bakeries and shops, yet the apartment is located not in a main road. The living room and the bedroom overlook the street so, if you want to keep the windows open, be prepared for some rumours made by scooters and passers-by. The kitchen is an oasis of silence.
We felt very safe in an area, with a car parked directly in the street, walking with a dog at night.
Communication with Sara and her assistance when you needed help or information - can't be better!
Strongly recommend :)
