Marika is a great host and we were sooo glad we chose to stay in her apartment. It is very spacious and decorated beautifully with great attention to detail - even colours of bedding and towels are picked to compliment the rooms. The design has that rare genuine character to it - very inspiring and not to be missed if you consider yourself an aesthete. On the practical side of things, beds are comfy, there is everything one might need. The location is very convenient - it is a couple minutes walk from the train station (read 45 mins to Cefalu), local buses and coaches also stop there; there are many nice restaurants in close proximity (we’d recommend to check Aja Mola for seafood and Cicala for a casual atmosphere off the tourist track). Fans are provided as there are no aircons. The room overlooking the street can be a bit noisy - wasn’t an issue for us as easily solved by earplugs. Definitely recommend!
