As a traveler in Sicily, one needs a quiet place to refresh and recharge. Martina's place fills that need. Even though one is only 5 minutes away from the hustle of the tourist crowd, peace and quiet can be had. Yes it is still a family neighborhood with the usual sounds of everyday life. Sometimes a late night or early morning noise might interrupt your quiet time, that is to be expected.
Just minutes away from food and entertainment. The most visited sites are very walkable. Bus service to and from the train terminal and the airport is a quick 5 minute walk away. Buses seem to run on their own schedule so take that into consideration planning your day.
