The flat is beautiful, just as it is in the photos. It's clean, tidy, has all the necessary amenities and it's a short walk down to a nice non-touristy beach. It's also very close to the supermarket and central cafes/bars. It's easy to get out of Acireale so we used it as a base to explore the surrounding area (Catania, Etna, Taormina etc). Cristina was lovely, friendly and gave us excellent advice.
The only difficulty was parking- not always easy in July.
