The apartment is close to the main attractions and a bus station that gets you to beaches or the airport. Because of this, there is quite a bit of noise from the street below. The place itself is very spacious and contains cooking utensils etc., however the bed is quite squeaky and we were surprised to find there was no washing machine. There’s also no elevator to get to the top floor but this was not a problem for us and Marco offered to help get our luggage up. He was very accommodating and communication with him was great! It’s worth noting that the terrace is not part of the apartment itself and you have to go up an extra set of stairs and through Marco’s kitchen (hidden by a sheet) to get there. We enjoyed having breakfast up there with a great view of the Sicilian roof tops.
