Loft moderno Second House Catania 28

Vicinanza dal centro, supporto di Mirko in tutte le fasi del soggiorno.

Mancanza di insonorizzazione

This place is everything you need for a family vacation in Catania. Neat and tidy, great location, the best host Mirko 😀 we are very happy to have been your guests

Everything was great

Super lokalizacja. Apartament bardzo przytulny, fajnie rozwiązane spanie na antresoli. Wygodny system otwierania drzwi. Czyściutko. Świetny kontakt z Mirko . Czuliśmy się zaopiekowani. Duży plus za przygotowanie apartamentu od rana, zaraz po przylocie do Katanii. Bardzo polecam

Brak

It is as cute as the pictures but it is a commercial space that is not safe for using as an apartment to sleep. Several safety and fire hazards on top of being in a neighborhood that doesn’t feel safe at night and regularly doesn’t have streetlights as a normal routine for the non tourist streets of Catania.

I was in the apartment and the electronic locked unlocked its self and the door was open. If I wasn’t there then someone could have just walked in off the street and taken my stuff. The owner invited herself over even when I told them that I had an appointment and needed to leave out early, they came anyway and was knocking on the door and came to check something in the bedroom area and the wifi for the unit next to mine. I can’t imagine what was really going on and just hope there wasn’t a camera watching me. The shower where the water comes out is next to an electric socket. The windows and completely sealed so when I heard people yelling outside and the street lights were off, I couldn’t even see anything at all. I messages the property guy saying I was afraid in the house since the street lights were out and I couldn’t see anything, because he knew that it was a regular thing that happens on that street he told me to just stay in the house with the door locked and eventually the lights would come back on. He wouldn’t even come to bring me a flashlight in case the lights went out next another time when I was coming back alone in the complete dark. If danger ever happens, you will be trapped inside with no way out and no way to understand what is happening and they won’t care. That area is several blocks from the main tourist part and in a normal town it wouldn’t be bad or in the day but at night even the police don’t recommend going there and ai was escorted one of the nights by police when the lights went out. If you are a group of guys then you will probably enjoy yourself for the price and cuteness but definitely not safe for a woman or anyone not ready to fight a robber who can easily get in the door that unlocks itself.

Comfortable place, very central. Everything is close by

Missing some utensils for guests with longer stays ( would have been nice to have some olive oil and salt for cooking)

Spacious and cool apartment in the heart of Catania, it has everything you need for a 4 day stay. The host was super nice giving us recommendations for our stay. Free parking was easy to find in the surrounding streets.

As it is literally on the street, you can hear everything from the outside (people talking or passing by, trash car coming)

This one one of the few places I've been recently that the shower actually worked as expected. The hardest mattress I've ever slept on but the bed is not uncomfortable. You don't hear the fridge upstairs. The place is very near to the center.

The first night I got woken up as follows: 2 times by cars driving very loudly on the non-asphalt road outside, 1 time by car honking at 5:30 in the morning, 1 time by what sounded like some bottles being thrown around in the trunk of a car, 1 time by the very strong smell of the drainage, because there turned out to be a hole under one of the beds that leads directly to the bathroom. The following nights it wasn't as bad - predominantly the smell was waking us up. Even our child woke one time to tell us that it smells very bad and she can't sleep. There was a high pitch noise coming off of the Wi-Fi so I had to unplug it from t he wall socket immediately after we entered as it was unbearably annoying, so we had to use our mobile data. There was not space for putting your things (shower gel, soap etc...) under the shower. The microwave is actually an oven. There are no night lamps and if you wake up during the night you have to light up the whole house. The coffee machine was full with capsules from previous guests. The place is straight on the sidewalk and no windows open, so if you want to let fresh air in you have to open the door and people passing by casually just watch what's going on inside. And not to forget that we were arriving from Siracusa with 4 suitcases and the owners told us to step from the bus near plaza Duomo, so we had to basically push our 4 suitcases for 14 minutes through some quite nasty streets from where we stepped down from the bus.
