Pleasant

  : apartment was spacious, great terrace view, well equipped kitchen
  : there is no wifi at all (despite the fact that it is listed on booking), there was unpleasant smell almost in the whole apartment (probably some sewers problems), toilet seat was broken, pots and some plates were dirty, overall it looks better on booking's photos than in reality

Very Good

  : The owner is very nice, and the localization is great. You can easily see the most important parts of the city on foot. Lots of great places to eat and get coffee for breakfast nearby. The balcony is great along with the views. No wifi might be problematic for some, and it can be rather cold outside of the regular seasons but that is to be expected.
  : Rather cold while we were there (December), no heating except for the bathroom radiator.

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : the view
  : One of the rooms was very tiny with durty sheets. We had to wash them by ourselves. The apartment was big, but full of old unuseful furniture. It was untidy and disgusting. Despite the beautiful view, we really regretted booking this place.

  : There are two rooms available with two beds in one and a double and two singles.There's a kitchen even tho not fully equipped there was coffee. Fridge freezer which helped because we placed our water bottles there Lovely relaxing views of Etna with beautiful sunsets
  : The bathroom had a weird smell We had to figure out how to open the hot water from the water heater as the water was freezing but we managed A simple water bottle would have been great to find in the fridge after a day of travel and arriving late in the evening when all the super markets were closed. The small bed room didn't have AC however we closed the doors and with the AC of the kitchen we managed to cool the room The apartment is the penthouse so it is rather hot as well as you'd have to go up two flights of steps 20 in total to get to the entrance of the apartment besides going up very old but functional lifts.

  : * Andreas the owner is a top . if we had to rate the landlord he would have a 10!! he is always ready to help and to give advise. he also waited us (very late at nigth) to give us the keys after our flight has a delay and we had some complications arriving to the apartment. *it is a pet friendly apartment * the terrace has quite stunning views and a bbq that can be used* we can have a late checkout which was very convenient for our traveling plans* it is very difficult the parking nearby, but Andrea recommended us a private parking like 5 min walking from there.
  : * the bathroom has a constant sewer smell. * you can hear the elevator sounds from the master room.( and they are not soft sounds.) .they start early in the morning whenpeople uses the elevator to go out to work. this can disturb your sleep.* the hot water in the shower worked some times , others not. Andrea check on it , but even after that it keep doing up and down.* the apartment is far from the city Center and in a hill. so if you dont have car is quite difficult to move from there ( the bus stop is nearby but the times for buses in Sicily is quite random, the first day we were waiting there for a while and nothing came, so we had to go down by footit take us long time to go down!!* the (very creepy and old) elevators arrive to the 6 floor, but this apartment is like a 7 floor so even after you take the elevator you still have to climb some upstairs (with your luggage or supermarket shoppings) . *the last day random people just opened a back door in the terrace and climb on the roof. we were quite stunned since we thought the terrace was private and we were not warned with anticipation about works to be carried on the roof. We didnt like the intrusion and give us a feeling of insecurity (since anyone can just open that door and immediately be on the apartment terrace )
