- Bojana (8/5): - Apartman je na dobroj lokaciji,sve je blizu.
- J W (9/5): -
- Ryszard (9/5): - Dobre wyposażenie pokoju /lodówka, kuchenka, ekspres, czajnik, żelazko,pralka itp./ wygodne łóżko, dobra lokalizacja 5 minut od głównego placu na starym mieście. Dobry kontakt z właścicielem.
- Jeffrey (5/5): Would not stay again or recommend but the shower was great. - The building had an elevator.
Shower pressure and heat was great. Location was near impossible to find, while contact with owner/manager was non existent.
Every call going to voicemail.
Parking impossible despite being told of nearby parking station, (albeit with charge)
No toilet paper on arrival or milk to go with tea and coffee for breakfast. (These were dropped off sometime on the next day)
- Weronika (4/5): Dobra lokazliacja, słabe wyposażenie i słabe śniadania - Lokalizacja Kuchnia: zepsuty palnik gazowy, zepsuty toster, zepsuty czajnik.
- Paola (7/5): -
- Ryszard (8/5): Świetne miejsce na kilka dni. - Mały kameralny pokój na 2 piętrze, miał niemal wszystko co potrzeba. Aneks, łazienka, włoskie śniadania i prywatność. Do centrum dość blisko - kilka minut spacerem, do przystanku też niedaleko. Widok z okna raczej nie zachwycał. Internet był, ale akurat trafiłem na usterkę (2 dni bez). Okolica niestety nie należała do najpiękniejszych tak samo jak widok z okna.
- Elena (10/5): -
- Alžběta (10/5): - Velmi příjemný pobyt díky panu majiteli, odpovídal na veškeré dotazy.
Děkujeme za veškerou pomoc.
Co se ubytování týče, splňuje veškeré požadavky pro kratší pobyty. V kuchyni chybí ostrý nůž a nůžky.
Co se týče snídaně, spíše počítat s malým snackem než s plnohodnotným jídlem.
- DIONYSIOS (9/5): - Πολύ ωραίο δωμάτιο. Ανταποκρίνεται στις φωτογραφίες που βλέπει κάποιος πριν την ενοικίαση. Η ντουλάπα άνετη, το κρεβάτι είναι διπλό, άνετο και μαλακό. Το ίδιο και τα μαξιλάρια. Ευχάριστη η θέα από το δωμάτιο. Δεν βλέπει θάλασσα, αλλά βλεπει σε μια πλατεία και σε άλλες πολυκατοικίες αντιπροσωπευτικές της πόλης. Θόρυβος δεν υπάρχει. Τα παραθυρόφυλλα θυμίζουν χωριατόσπιτο. Είναι πολύ όμορφα. Η κουζίνα είναι αρκετά εξοπλισμένη. Το μπανιο είναι αρκετα ευρύχωρο, ίσως όχι τόσο καλή η θέση της λεκάνης για κάποιον ψηλό και ογκώδη. Η επικονωνία με τους ιδιοκτήτες είναι άμεση. Η διαδικασία με το ξεκλείδωμα και κλείδωμα της πόρτας ειναι σαφέστατη από τις οδηγίες και ευκολή. Θα ήθελα ίσως να υπάρχουν καλύτερες οδηγίες χρήσης του POS για την πληρωμή των τελών παρεπιδημούντων και κλιματικής κρίσης. Ίσως και κάποιο έντυπο με οδηγίες, όπως και τηλέφωνα πρώτης ανάγκης πίσω από την πόρτα μαζί με τις άλλες υπάρχουσες πληροφορίες. Υπάρχουν διαθέσιμα στο χώρο κρουασανάκια, κεκάκια και μπισκότα, ψωμί του τόστ, μαρμελάδες ατομικές και nutella, όπως και κάψουλες για καφές και τσάι. Τια το κόστος του δωματίου, θα ήταν καλό να είναι ενεργοποιημένο και το netflix μιας και το κόστος του δεν είναι μεγάλο (εμείς δεν καταφέραμε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε, έστω και αν υπήρχε συνδρομή), κυρίως για τους φιλόξενούμενους που δεν είναι Ιταλοί, μιας και όλες οι ταινίες ειναι μεταγλωττισμένες. Νομίζω οτι είναι από τα καλύτερα δωμάτια που είδα και διαζώσης και από φωτογραφίες στην Κατάνια, σε αυτή την τιμή πάντα, διότι είναι στον 2 όροφο, έχει ασανσέρ, έχει μπαλκονόπορτα με μπαλκόνι και το δωμάτιο αερίζεται, οπότε δε μυρίζει και υγρασία. Σε απόσταση αναπνοής έχει κορεατικό εστιατόριο για τους λάτρεις του είδους. Στην είσοδο του κτιρίου καθώς και σε όλους τους κοινοχρηστους χώρους υπήρχε έντονη μυρωδιά φαγητού, από το φουγάρο του απεναντι εστιατορίου, προφανώς διότι το παραθυρο πάνω από την πορτα της εισόδου του κτιρίου δεν υπάρχει, παρά μόνο κάγκελα. Τα οικιακά σκεύη δεν ήταν όλα πολύ καθαρά, κυρίως τα μαγειρικά. Ο κοινόχρηστος χώρος του κριτίου είναι γεμάτος σκόνες από πτώσεις σοβάδων στους τόιχους. Δεν είναι όμως λόγος για να μην νοικιάσει κάποιες το δωμάτιο. Ίσως να μην υπάρχει διαχειριστής και συνεργείο καθαριστμού σε κάθε πολυκατοικεία, όπως έχουμε συνηθίσει στην Ελλάδα. Σακούλες σκουπιδιών και σκουπίδια έξω από το κτίριο σε συνδυασμό με το οτι γενικά η πόλη είναι αρκετά βρωμικη.
Συστήνω να υπάρχουν περισσότερα χαρτίά υγείας αναλογα με τις μέρες που μένουν οι επισκέπτες, καθώς και έξτρα σακούλες για τον ντενεκέ της τουαλέτες ή πιο μεγάλο τενεκέ.
Το κόστος μεταφοράς από και προς το αεροδρόμιο που προσφέρουν οι οικοδεσπότες είναι αρκετά υψηλό, 50€ η κάθε διαδρομή για 10 λεπτά περίπου και 4,5 χιλιόμετρα απόσταση, όταν το ταξί παίρνει πολύ λιγότερα και υπάρχουν λεωφορεία και τρένο με ελάχιστα χρήματα. Ακόμα και στην Ελλάδα που η απόσταση από το κέντρο της Αθήνας ειναι 32 χιλιόμετρα, η τιμή ενός ταξί είναι 60€-70€ η κάθε διαδρομή.
Το ρολόι στο δωμάτιο δε λειτουργεί, ίσως και από άποψη!
- Silvia Estela (9/5): - La ubicación El estacionamiento siempre es en la calle y no lo sabia
- Romuald (9/5): Byliśmy zadowoleni z lokalu i całego pobytu. - Świetna lokalizacja. Brak kilku drobnych elementów wyposażenia, które gospodarz zadeklarował uzupełnić w przyszłości. Przydałaby się informacja nt. usuwania śmieci z lokalu, co w przypadku dłuższych pobytów ma znaczenie (nasz był 9 dniowy), a pojemniki na ulicy były zamknięte na kłódki.
- Emil (10/5): Peste asteptari - Locatie zona buna , aproape de centru , de statie tren si autobuz
Intrarea se face cu codul primit prin booking
- Kazimierz (9/5): -
- Vygantas (9/5): -
- Chiaoya (7/5): In general fine - It’s ok. I was worried about lock because it seems like people can easily open from outside when knowing the password. There should be indoor lock which cannot be open through the code for the guests as well. Thin blanket. The thick blanket from the closet is stinky and has pee stain on it. 🤮
- Martinez (7/5): - La ubicacion Que aunque tiene ascensor para subir al 2 piso, hasta el ascensor hay que subir varios escalones. Mi marido tiene movilidad reducida y eso es un inconveniente.
Tampoco nos gusto q no vimos al propietario en ningún momento, todo online, la entrada y la salida.
- Maria (9/5): - Lokalizacja ,śniadanie , pełne wyposażenie , kuchni , pralka itp. wszędzie blisko, do miasta , na dworzec.
Czystość. Problem z wejściem do budynku.
- Vadim (10/5): - Prețul. Aproape de centrul istoric, în afara ZTL, aproape de stația Borselino-bus 524 pt aeroport (1,4 euro bilet) sau Alibus (4 euro bilet) . Dotat cu frigider, mașină de spălat (sunt sub blat, nu le-am văzut în poze ) plită gaz, cuptor microunde, fierbător, expresor cafea, fier de călcat (în dulap) Umbrelă plajă, după dulap (am văzut-o prea târziu) - plaja Catania la 4 km distanță . Farfurii, oale, tacâmuri, căni etc. Încuietoare la ușă cu cod f faină, pt închidere /deschidere din interior, trebuie apăsat în cercul central. POS pt plata taxei de oraș, noi am lăsat cash pe masă. TV cu multe programe, internet. Decorat cu gust, așternut de calitate. Balcon cu uscător și cleme pt rufe. Etajul 2 cu lift. Gazda, super amabilă, ne-a ajutat cu bagajele în ultima zi, aveam zbor târziu. Mulțumim Parcarea, mai degrabă nu există. Eu nu am avut curaj să las mașina închiriată în stradă, parcheggio Lupo, 700 m distanță 25 euro 24 ore/20 euro 12 ore. Micul dejun constă în croissant/ biscuiți pre-ambalate, 1L suc portocale, 3 sticle apă plată 0,5 L, gem la doze, ceai plicuri, doze cafea expresor. Citisem la comentarii, am făcut cumpărături la Lidl, 1 km distanță (avantaje-nu am fost încurcați de orarul micului dejun și am putut pregăti cina caldă, fiind apartament). Ușa pliantă la baie (ventilatorul mai acoperă din zgomote :) funcționa greu, para la duș era ruptă (dar era cealaltă, pt duș - ploaie).
- Giorgia (8/5): -
- Manuela (9/5): Gut - Super Lage Haben versucht den Mieter anzurufen. Es war nicht zu erreichen. Fön war defekt . Wasserschaden unter der Spüle .
- CARLA (6/5): No está mal, pero no repetiría - La comodidad de poder hacer la comida en casa. El loft aunque es pequeño está bien distribuido y decorado con gusto. Está cerca del centro, pero la zona en la que se encuentra está bastante sucia, nos encontrábamos calles con trozos de cristal y basura en el suelo.
Para familias con bebé el acceso al apartamento con carrito de bebé es poco práctico, hay ascensor pero antes unas escaleras estrechas.
Dice que hay desayuno, pero para tres días nos dejaron 4 cosas, casi que para eso mejor no dejar desayuno y que se lo compre uno.
- BEUNARD (9/5): Bacon - - proximité de la gare et du centre historique - équipement : 1 seule petite cuillère, le pommeau de douche cassé.
- Aleksandra (10/5): -
- Dorota (8/5): Fajne miejsce na krótki pobyt 2-3dni. - Lokalizacja blisko do dworca i autobusu , Czysto, balkon, pralka, lodówka, żelazko 👍 Śniadania 🤔 raczej to był poczęstunek na 1 dzień niż śniadanie na kilka dni(2 zdjęcie) Dobrze że blisko był Lidl .
- dalitodo (10/5): Great location, easy access, nicely decorated, and fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. - The apartment is in a great location and very easy to access.

- Sheila (8/5): Would recommend this apartment both for location and facilities. Excellent value. - It was compact, excellent value and the right location. Close to the centre but very quiet area. Nice view from window onto back area where children played in the evening. Made cheerful entertainment. It would have been helpful to have the key code and the method to enter the block. We we lucky that someone let us in and the cleaner gave us the code to enter the apartment. Had trouble working the stove. We did not realise for a few days that the Gas was bottled and had to be turned on. Otherwise we were more than satisfied with the area and the facilities.
- Andreea-consuela (5/5): Unfortunately, not the relaxing family vacation we hoped for This was our first holiday as just the two of us and our 1 - The positives:
The location is beautiful—close to tourist attractions and the apartment was clean upon arrival. However, several issues significantly impacted our stay:
* Cold room & non-functioning AC: We arrived late in the evening, and the room was quite cold for a baby. The air conditioning didn’t work initially. When I contacted the host, I was told I simply didn’t know how to use it and was advised to “just add another blanket.” Later, we discovered there was a hidden switch on the balcony next to the external AC unit that needed to be turned on—a very unusual setup. Luckily, my husband is an engineer and managed to get it working.
* Unsafe baby bed: The provided crib was extremely small and not suitable for a baby who can stand. It was unstable and felt unsafe—our child could have easily fallen out. When I raised this concern, the host blamed us for having a baby that “didn’t fit” in the bed and did not offer any solution, despite my suggestions to rent or even purchase a suitable crib together. As a result, we had to put our baby to sleep in a stroller and later move him into bed with us—something we've never done before and is not recommended by the World Health Organization.
* Trash disposal: When we asked where to throw out trash, including diapers, the host advised us to leave it on the balcony. We ended up keeping our garbage outside for the duration of the stay and had to deal with pigeons trying to tear open the bags.
Despite initially wanting to leave on the first night, we stayed in the hope that the host would resolve the situation, as promised. Unfortunately, nothing changed, and relocation became more difficult with a baby, stroller, and luggage. We even contacted Booking.com for support, but we did not receive the assistance we hoped for.
In conclusion, while the apartment may be suitable for couples, it is not well-equipped for families with young children. We returned more tired than when we left.
- Alan (8/5): Very good - Comfortable, compact and clean, everything we needed for a short stay.
Close to the city centre and public transport.
Enjoyed.
- Nicola (8/5): Very good -
- Corina (7/5): Good -
- Gavril (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to the centre and close to the bus station.
- Angeliki (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (8/5): Very good - The unit was about equal distance to the Duomo area and the train/bus station. There were a lot of things plugged into one outlet. The room was a little dark.
- Anna (9/5): Superb -
- Larry1981 (9/5): Superb - A little bit cold in the room even if we were using the AC
- Whalley (8/5): Good location for Catania centre - a genuine 10 minute walk to the main square. - Breakfast was ok but no milk for tea and limited fresh baked goods.
Good location near to town. Tricky to find in a small back street and the parking was difficult. Unprepossessing exterior, but really nice inside.
- Detelin (10/5): Exceptional - A room with all amenities, in a quiet place, although very close to the historical center, the fish market, bus stops. Extremely kind and communicative landlord, responds immediately to all questions. A working silent elevator. Secure lock. Fully equipped kitchen. All amenities for a perfect stay. I recommend! Excellent ratio between price and quality.
- Tweedie (9/5): Pretty good. - Clean and owner was prompt with minor issues. You can hear neighbours arguing all day/night and cooking banging dishes and pots.
- Ljiljana (10/5): Nice experience in Catania - The location is amazing. It is close to the city center, bus station, and beaches. The apartment has everything so you can feel just like home. Bad neighborhood to be alone in the evening.
- Renata (10/5): The best place to stay in Catania! - Everything! All necessary facilities, location (walking distance to train station and bus stop for airport shuttle), and cold water in the fridge which saved our lives when we arrived :) n/a
- Mariana (10/5): overall amazing - The property is located very close to the city center, what allowed us to walk around the city, visit museums and easily use public transports to go to other parts of Sicily. The property is adorable and very comfortable
- Valentin (8/5): Very good -
- Patricia (9/5): Superb - Cozy, small apartment fully equipped in a great location. The hallway of the building.
