The apartment is very well situated : it's close to the Duomo (5 minutes), the bus stop from and to the airport, the train and central bus station. Not far from the apartment are lots of nice bakeries and coffee bars. My favourite place, the fish market is only 5 min walking distance. The apartment is located in a lively neighbourhood, so except some noise. But for us this only added to the Sicilian ambiance. There is however, one negative point to mention: the bad odour from the bathroom. Only when opening the windows at all time, closing the bathroom door and spraying some nice odours around we managed to keep it to an acceptable level. I would really recommend to get his fixed, then this apartment would definitely get 5 stars!!!
