The single/double room I stayed in is located at a longer street but within a courtyard and well-protected from any traffic noise. I could comfortably reach anything I wanted to within walking distance: Main (shopping) street Via Etnea where you can get everything to the West and Northwest, big and beautiful park Villa Bellini to the Northwest and on that street, bars where young Italian people go directly to the South at the other side of the block, restaurants pretty much everywhere, bus to the Airport Southeast. Touristy stuff also nearby and to the West, but was not interested in that.
The housemaids/-keepers June and Antonella were also very friendly and helpful. Juices, some fruit, yoghurt and occasionally also pistacchio cake for breakfast from 8 to 10am, also some cheese, eggs, and of course coffee - so definitely more than a minimal Italian breakfast. TV and airconditioning in my room; you could also get fresh air by opening the bathroom window into the courtyard. Plenty of space on the bed, also for 2 people. Free WIFI more in the communal/breakfast area.
In the shower it took some time for the water to get warm, but it did get properly warm. A small table in the room would also have been nice. Overall though, I enjoyed my stay there.
