Wonderful stay. Apt is truly unique with so many interesting books and wall pieces. It is decorated with great care and artistic expression. The apt is perfectly situated next to Duomo Square. Everything is within walking distance. Parking on the street in front of the apt is safe and conveniently priced. You can walk to a nearby souvenir shop on the other side of the Piazza and purchase a ticket to place on your dashboard. Morning price is €1.50 total (08:30-13:30) and afternoon price is also €1.50 (15:30-20:30). Parking from 13:30-15:30 is free. Antonino was a gracious and friendly host, who brought up our bags and helped us get settled in. Antonino spoke some English, which was helpful since we don’t speak Italian, but since we speak Spanish fluently, we were able to pick up quite a bit of his Italian. Antonino took the time to show us how to use all the features in the apt. He provided so many helpful amenities, including: juice, toast, jelly, chocolates, and espresso, as well as shower essentials and even a space heater to warm up the bathroom. We were very pleased and comfortable. We highly recommend this charming apt to anyone visiting Messina.
