JAMES A.
My main snag was checking in before 3 pm and getting in touch with the host. Maurizio eventually texted me, though he doesn't speak English and my Italian isn't very good either. Once I got in, he showed me how the different electronic keys worked. The Wi-Fi didn't work at all at first, but he fixed it the next day when I saw him. I passed the time with a long lunch at Moschetterini trattoria around the corner. The neighborhood is a little scruffy, but behind the iron door things improve: my room was large, had great air con, and was en suite, with a shared kitchen for three rooms. The main bus station, airport bus and train station are all easy to reach, so going to Taormina for the day was a cinch. For a convenient, fairly cheap stay of a couple nights, you can't fault Mamaloco!

The woman who handed us the keys was helpful and gave us a good tip about a beach five minutes away on foot. She didn't speak English, but used a translator, which helped throughout. The room was clean and moderately spacious, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and its own bathroom. The TV didn't work, but otherwise it was fine. The shared kitchen has a working fridge and sink, plus basic cutlery, plates, glasses and a pizza slicer. The cooker doesn't work, and there are no regular-sized pans or pots, so I wouldn't plan to cook, as we did. It's near the train station and walkable from the city centre, a good place to sleep while exploring at a reasonable price.

A great location and very caring staff.

The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was in good order, and there was a hairdryer. The shared kitchen was modern and well equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, kettle, plates, glasses and cutlery. It's also well located, close to the train station, bus stations and airport bus.

My sister stayed here for more than a week. She told me the staff were friendly and the space was very comfortable, a practical choice for budget travel without ending up in a dump. She also liked how easy it was to get airport transport. She recommends it.
