La casa di Marci

Great location. Minutes from all the attractions, restaurants and the market. Very cozy, functional, clean and comfortable. There are no windows but the large frosted glass front door gives enough lights and a cool atmosphere to the flat. Host was very responsive, flexible and gave us some great recommendations on the area as well as private parking for our rental car.

There was a foul sewage smell coming from the shower drain. Even though the street has limited access to cars, it can be noisy at times. Parking is very difficult to find in the area and you are subject to ZTL rules. If you have a rental car you will need to look into paid private parking.

Convenient location to tourist sites.

Very busy street with lots of noise at all hours of the night.

The appartement is in the center of Catania, everything is in 5-10 minutes of walk. The owner and our contact were absolutely helpful, and very-very kind! We had excursions every day, but even if we stay only in Catania, it were worth the visit. What I have told on the owner and on the contact, I could tell the same on the Sicialians; they are kind, polite, and everywhere is absolutely secure. You could pay everywhere with bankcard - even a price of espresso -, and naturally the food is fantastic. Which was interesting that there were no food shops in the center, only little ones specialised to some products, but there were market every day, so you could have all you want, just you must walk some meters :).

The place was clean and had almost everything we needed (did miss a few small things but could have asked the responsible for the place, didn't think about it, so our fault) The location was extremely good situated, because we were so close to the center, Castello Ursino, Roman theater, the markets in the morning en in the evening an abundance of very good restaurants to chose from (averaging at around €20 p.p.). Only ate in 1 restaurant twice. Very nice atmosphere in and around the neighborhood.

That same nice atmosphere kept on going until 1 or 2a.m. sometimes! No fun if you need to get up around 6. Public transport was not so pleasant... only 1 useful busstop at about 5-10min walk, no timetable at the stop, so we always had to guess if the bus had already passed or not (quite annoying) and you can't buy tickets on the bus (had to buy them in advance). Traffic there is very challenging, so be careful if you plan on hire a car or scooter or if you go there with your own car.

Location, equipment, everything clean and new. Air-conditioning as well heating. Very nice apartment with all details, kitchen has everything.

Booking should inform that apartment has no window
