The apartment is located a bit outside Milazzo (10 min by car), which is a very nice town. Aeolian islands can be reached in a day trip, but the coast around Milazzo (especially west) can also be beautiful.
Initially, the place was not very clean. However, upon our inquiry, the friendly host promptly ordered a second cleaning, after which it was a lot better.
Communication with the host was very friendly and helpful at all times. Check-in is contact less through a lock box, so the arrival time is quite flexible.
The apartment itself is a bit old in style, but comfortable and had everything we needed.
