Open Sicily Homes - Near the Central Train Station

Really central and well taken care of

The comfort of the bed

The location was perfect for accessing many amenities whether by foot or via car. One thing to note the location is in a conservation area so cars can't go pick/drop you right outside the apartments. It's easier to select the pick up/drop off by Lidl which is a 2 min walk. The apartment itself is very spacious, lots of natural light coming in and a very comfy sofa to lounge on after a long day of actives! It comes equip with everything you may need if you decide to self-cater (I didn't use it) but the fridge and microwave comes in handy when you have leftover takeaway to eat the next day!

The mattress on the bed was far too springy and offered no support, so be prepared to have a sore back/shoulder the next day! The company only provides 1 free clean during your stay so be mindful of that if you're expecting daily fresh towels and bedding! There is no lift! If you're unlucky like us and stayed on the 3rd floor with 3 pieces of luggage be prepared to carry all your luggages ALONE! They also have a 4th floor to so be mindful. There is no members of staff onsite to assist you with this or anything else but you can contact a helpful assistant named 'Valerio' via WhatsApp. Even though there was no staff, I still generally felt very safe in the apartments and within the local area nearby!

Located in a traditional area of the city and was quite

Headroom in the loft bedroom was low so you needed to be careful not to hit your head

Spacious room, easy checkin

Unfortunately we had to leave after 2 out of 4 nights as the smell coming from the bathroom had become unbearable. They had clearly tried to cover it up before we arrived because there was a strong mix of cleaning detergent and perfume in air when we got in. It was very difficult to reach the host so when he stopped responding we contacted Booking. We also couldn’t properly lock the door which didn’t feel very secure.
