The apartment is very close to the Duomo and the historic centre generally. This makes parking extremely difficult and we had to park each day more than a kilometre away.
When you come out the front door you are immediately in the outdoor restaurant beside the apartment. The air condition outlet is also immediately outside the front door and this gave rise to conflict with the managers. The website did not mention any restrictions on the use of the aircon but when we were checking in we were told that the next door neighbour complained about the aircon and we were asked to switch it off going out. We had arrived late in the evening and found the apartment very warm and with the high ceilings it did not cool down sufficiently to allow comfortable sleep that night and so, as the website had not mentioned any limit on the aircon usage, we left it on the next day on the way out. We did the same the next day although it had been turned down as we were harangued in Itialian by the neighbour on our way out. On returning to the apartment we discovered that it had been turned off and we had a message that we were in breach of contract and threatened with a €15 fine. We were also told that the unit was overheating and smelt of burning and that we had created a safety issue. This was very upsetting and we wondered if there would have been a safety issue if one of us had to stay in all day and left on the aircon. When we booked we were informed (and I think it is on the website) that Italian law requires a contract to be signed (although no other airbnb in Italy sought that) which we did and looking back on it it does mention turning off all switches on leaving our apartment.
Our general view is coloured by that unfortunate incident and left us dissatisfied with the way it was managed. Nonetheless the apartment was otherwise satisfactory.
We would have liked a kettle available and it may be worth noting that it does not come with any food provisions unlike the other airbnb apartments we used in Sicily all of which we were happy to give 5 stars to.
On a more positive note we did get good restaurant recommendations from Danilo.
