My daughter and I spent two weeks in this lovely apartment, while she looked for a long-term rental apartment.
Our host, Maria, met us at the bus stop near the apartment and even drove us to a supermarket to stock up on provisions!
The apartment was very clean, with wifi, TV, washing machine and kitchen.
It's less than 5 minutes' walk to the tram that takes you into the centre of Messina, and there are many cafes and small shops in walking distance of the apartment.
We would definitely recommend Maria and the apartment to visitors.
