Giuseppe went above and beyond as a host. He picked us up at the ferry and drove us to Casa Augusta. He let us check out a later than usual. He gave us very helpful details about the volcano hike (which is amazing by the way), and he even helped us find a ferry back to Milazzo and transportation to Milazzo to Palermo. He responds immediately to questions. The apartment is right in the middle of everything. We walked everywhere - to the port, groceries, restaurants, beach and the volcano tour. It is in a very central and convenient location. And the view from the terrace is postcard worthy. If you go to Stromboli, stay at one of Giuseppe's places. He also speaks very good English for those of us who don't speak Italian. :)
