Federica and her associate Alessandro were very communicative in the run up to our arrival. Unfortunately, our first impressions were less than good. On arrival, the entrance to the building was propped open by a group of young kids smoking and drinking. Alessandro arrived to check us in and appeared in a rush, quickly showing us to our room and then heading out. From the reviews we were expecting to stay at their home, but it turns out the place is just an Airbnb machine with three guest rooms and little character. Federica was nowhere to be seen, which was a shame as all the reviews spoke of how great a host she was, which ultimately led us to choose this place, as we were looking for that famous Sicilian hospitality. The listing advertised a King sized bed, when it is really two twins pushed together. The little balcony with a church view was cute, aside from the cigarette ash all over the table cloth. Having said that, the hot water and WiFi worked perfectly, and the room was relatively quiet on a Saturday night in a lively street. Federica was also very generous to allow us to stay in the apartment until 2pm, since there was no other booking the next day. Fine for a night but not quite what we were looking for.
