Our host came down to meet us when we had difficulty finding the exact location. He repeatedly offered to help us with our suitcases on the uphill climb to our apartment. The apartment is very nice with a very large terrace with views of the sea and Mount Etna, as advertised. He also made several suggestions about tours and sightseeing. The apartment was sparkling new having been renovated this last winter. The location is great, very close to the main shopping , restaurants and a big parking lot.
