Cristina was a great host! To start, she helped to arrange a car to pick us up from the airport, which was less expensive than a taxi. She helped us carry our bags up the stairs, gave us a tour of the apartment when we arrived, and then sent us a message to check on us the next day to see how our first night went. She gave us restaurant recommendations as well as info about traveling around the area and elsewhere in Sicily.
Cristina's apartment is beautiful. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the balcony, which had amazing views morning and night. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook (we cooked dinner most nights), and Cristina even left us some pasta, sauce, coffee, wine, water, and snacks on our first night.
There was a dishwasher and washing machine, which were very useful to have. The apartment is a great size to feel comfortable for a short term or long term stay, and it's located very close to town and easy to find.
