Host was friendly and useful, but only speaks Italian. Very close to the location there is a restaurant that served good food at a reasonable price (Kosta 2 pizzeria ristorante).

The location is actually an apartment on the third floor of a building. Furniture, windows, window blinds are old, looking like they're from the 80's. The apartment also lacks air conditioning, which is a must in the hot weather in Messina. Host provided us with some cooling fans, but they were no match for the Messina hot weather. There was no Wi-Fi available either. The area where the apartment is located looks almost like a ghetto, and the only places to park are on the street, which didn't look very safe. Fortunately nobody touched our motorcycles. Host only speaks Italian. No other foreign language, so Google Translate is a must if you don't speak Italian.
