Guest Reviews

• michael (10/5): -
• marc-henri (9/5): Appartement très bien placé et très bien équipé . -
• Rachel (7/5): -
• Valdemaras (10/5): Cozy center apartment - Apartment was very spacious and clean. Both living room and bedroom had independant AC unit, Fully functional kitchen with all that is required and Lavazza capsule coffee machine. Great location, just few steps away from the center buzz at the same time reasonably quiet in the room. Host shared instruction and city attractions in very well prepared "Professional" PDF forms. Thought I had ideal sleep, bed mattress is a bit warned out already. Parking could be difficult, during our September stay there were a lot of cars going around and looking for spots. But it would be same in any central location.
• Iratxe (8/5): Molt bona ubicació - Està molt ben ubicat, l’apartament és molt bonic i còmode. Tens coses per poder preparar l’esmorzar. Les escales, pero ja estavem informats , i es bastant dificil aparcar, vam donar unes quantes voltes, pero finalment ho vam aconseguir.
• Anna (7/5): - Relatively centrally located. The apartment is on the 3rd level with exactly 62 steps to climb. We were not impressed! Second bedroom was tiny with no window and no air conditioning.
• Jose María (10/5): Maravilloso apartamento - El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días maravillosos en Catania, es bonito, luminoso, tiene aire acondicionado, camas cómodas y te dejan todo listo para que te prepares el desayuno. Hay lavadora, que viene muy bien si es un punto intermedio en tu ruta en Sicilia y vas justo de equipaje. La ubicación es magnífica, muy cerca del centro. Y lo mejor los anfitriones, Manuela estuvo en todo momento pendiente de nuestras necesidades, contestando muy rápido a cualquier duda que nos surgiera. A la hora de buscar aparcamiento por la zona, nos encontramos algún individuo que pretendía que le pagáramos por ayudarnos a aparcar lo que nos generó mucha desconfianza. Así que optamos por aparcar en un parking a 7 minutos andando que nos recomendó Manuela (20€/día).

• Guest (7/5): - Easy to contact the owner, if any question aroused, we have received fast answer. The apartment was spacious, and there are two AC which keeps the hot air out. We stayed as a 4 friends group, it was enough for us, and it was clean as well. The breakfast could be a bit more selective, and it could also be a bit more regarding quantity. Even though its not the apartment, but the citys fault is that there are people lurking around asking for money that they help you park, which is a scam - moreover, its not easy to park, as there are no designated parking area nearby.
• Graça (8/5): Excelente! A repetir - Localização perfeita no centro. Áreas ótimas em todo o apartamento. Bons equipamentos. Tudo muito limpo. Pequeno almoço a melhorar.
• Tamas (10/5): -
• Hyungsik (9/5): -
• Elena (9/5): Great central location in the heart of Catania - Location was fantastic. The apartment was cute and had breakfast items to start our day. Host was very helpful with great recommendations. We would definitely recommend this place. The small room was too hot to sleep in, but the host said she will address this right away. Parking at the property was very hard to find but paid parking an 8 min walk away was convenient.
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Catia (9/5): Superb - Everything good. Not to easy to park, but it's Sicily...
• Iana (10/5): Beautiful apartment - It's a well-located, spacious apartment, light and airy with beautiful ornate ceilings. Easy to get from the Airport by bus. If you're not sure, ask the owner, as Google Maps doesn't always show the best route. The kitchen was well equipped. And you can see Etna and Ursino castle from the balcony :) The only thing you need to be prepared for is that it is located on the top floor with no lift (it's well communicated and wasn't a surprise for us). Also, the owner gave us great advice on the nearby restaurants. We will come back to this apartment, already looking forward to that :) All was great.
• Paul (8/5): Good location. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. - Space, washing machine Stairs
• Jude (10/5): Comfortable. Practical and unforgettable - It was perfect! The location is great too! The apartment is across from a small restaurant Da Antonios and it has the best fresh pasta i have tried. The Wish apartment staff are so so helpful! We had a query about the washing machine and someone attended within 5 minutes to assist. 10/10 Nothing. Its exactly what you need for a Catania stay
• Mark (9/5): Enjoyable - Location, host was very friendly and helpful. N/A
• Luke (8/5): Location is great, but car parking is a nightmoare - the location is Amazing, you are only a short walk from all the major sights and you have plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars close by. the car parking is not great, I was told when I booked this property that car parking will not be an issue, it was a major issue. My strong recommendation is do not have a car if you want to stay here, it is very central and car parking is often impossible to find especially on weekends.
• Scott (9/5): Superb -
• Rosina (10/5): GREAT STAY - EXCELLENT HOST, TOP LOCATION
• Mirela (9/5): Excellent - Its big size, central location, kind host. No elevator
• Mini (8/5): Good, comfortable and clean. - Some manuals for the TV, Washing machine and other appliance would be really handy. A new shower head would not go astray, either.
• Zheng (8/5): Very good - Location is good, home is clean, host is courteous, there are many perks. The bathroom door hight is too low, I bumped my head serval times.
• Ramona (9/5): Amaxing experience - Big apartment and very clean! The location was amazing near to all the town attractions and cultural objectives. You can also see ETNA and CASTELLO URSINO from the balcony The property was very good, we don’t have any complains or issues with the property. Downsize, which only the city police can solve: A parking slot was hard to find and at night there are various guys that force you to park even in unallowed places and ask you for money
• Maria (9/5): Cozy apartment in a centric location - The property is well located and very comfortable to stay with family. It is a long way up with the stairs (no lift) but that’s communicated plenty of times in advance.
• Briony (9/5): Superb - Great location, free parking nearby, lots of room All good
• Nikolai (9/5): Superb - Everything was great! Well equipped apartment is located in the centre of Catania. Amazing hosts! Nothing to add!
• Nancy (8/5): We enjoyed staying overall, flat was clean and spacious, only the minor points above need to be improved. - Fresh light decor, good kitchen facilities, warm welcome from Claudia, conveniently located. Nice touch was all the breakfast food provided. Heating struggled to keep the temperatures evenly warm. Main Bedroom was warm but the other rooms were a little chilly. Pillows on the bed were not comfortable. Wall lights in 2 rooms were not working.
• Haldi (7/5): Good -
• Amarjargal (7/5): Good - The place was spacious, clean, and in great condition. Mount Etna can be seen from the balcony. Near to a lot of good restaurants and the host was friendly giving us tips, and recommendations. The parking lot was hard to find. Near the place, there are public parking lots, however full of cars. Then found a really good parking spot but some dude came to us asking for some money even though it was a public spot. We didn't pay him and in the morning our rented car had a big scratch from a knife or something sharp. Luckily we had full-coverage insurance for the car.
• Donna (6/5): Reasonably priced, clean, decent area however there was no hot water after one shower. - The property was clean, spacious and I liked how breakfast food was available for us. There was no hot water after the first shower.
• Serafino (10/5): A great renovated apartment with wonderful hosts that really look after you. - Great hosts that make you feel welcome and special with a personal greeting and handover of keys and advice about what to do in the area. They take care of anything you may need and stay in touch with you The apartment is newly renovated on the 3rd floor of a secure building without lift (as it says in the listing) but the stairs are wide and easy to use. Great area to be in as it is very close to everything yet quiet at night. The ceiling in the main room is exceptionally ornate as shown in the photos and there are some low doorways and archways which add character to the place - just remember to duck if you are tall! Aircon works well as do the double glazed windows with blackout panels. Good range of cooking and breakfast supplies provided - overall a great short stay in Catania.
• Anna-maria (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. I highly recomment that apartment dueing stay in Catania.
• Amanda (8/5): Kapitano Catania - The snacks available were a nice addition. The architecture of the ornate ceilings were beautiful and highlighted the historical building. The location was great and apartment was very clean. A fan in the smaller room would make sleeping in that room more comfortable as there is no air-conditioning.
• Alena (10/5): Exceptional - everything was perfect, very pleasant accommodation in the center
• Ewa (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was clean, with great amenities, the staff was extremely helpful. Perfect location, about 10 minutes from bus and train station. 100% would stay with them again
