Guest Reviews
- Володимирівна (7/5): -
- Pellumb (8/5): Tolles Studio für Frühaufsteher im Herzen Catanias. - Die Lage, die Ausstattung, die gute Kommunikation mit dem Hausherrn. Nur die Tatsache, dass daneben eine Reifenfirma tätig ist und dich weckt.
- Justin (7/5): Ok spot for short stay - Good location, near square with restaurants and bars Small

- GEORGIA (10/5): Fabulous apartment, very well equipped with everything you need. Great location and very easy contactless checkin - Fabulous apartment with absolutely everything you including a washing machine. Really well located near the heart of Catania but very soundproof and quiet. Loved our stay.
- Alessandro (7/5): -
- Cristiano (9/5): Appartamento adatto per piccoli soggiorni - La posizione, il rapporto qualità prezzo) pulizia. È una soluzione essenziale e funzionale, adatta come punto di appoggio prr piccoli soggiorni. Per soggiorni più lunghi sarebbe scomoda visto che è poco luminosa e sulla strada, anche se non è molto trafficata dalle auto.
- Sandra (10/5): - L'apartament està molt ben ubicat, al centre de Catània, però alhora, té facilitat per aparcar aprop gratuitament. Tens llibertat d'hora d'arribada. Tot i que l'esmorzar no era inclòs, ens han deixat cafè i croissants. Estava molt net, olorava molt bé i era un apartament super bonic. Qualitat-preu immillorable. Gràcies! Molt i molt recomanable, el millor de tota la nostra ruta per Sicília.
- Mori (7/5): - L'appartamento è pulito ed accogliente. Purtroppo la posizione,zona pedonale e quindi la macchina deve essere lasciata fuori,prima notte rotto il vetro della macchina,le zone limitrofe non sono per niente tranquille e piacevoli.
Sporco ovunque e gente pericolosa soprattutto la notte.
- A1exPL (8/5): Not bad, second time we will look for the other place - A/C, water was in the fridge, some chocolate snacks It's hardly could be called for 4 persons: 3 no more
3 cockroaches (3-5 cm without moustaches) were killed for 4 nights of staying (perhaps they were neighbors and came through vent system)
No small spoons, vintage equipment was provided but it required to find a socket for it
A tires service is opening at 7.30. It's 5 meters from the entrance of apt. And you hear the wheels being dismounting...
it would be nice to add some soap to the kitchen - not a good idea to run upstairs to bedroom to clean hands ...
- Giordano (9/5): Bellissimo appartamento piccolo e funzionale - La posizione eccellente. Appartamento piccolo ma dotato di tutto quello che serve. Il self check in.. Nulla
- Manuel (9/5): Breve sosta a Catania - Delizioso appartamentino in posizione centrale di fronte al castello Ursino e in zona pedonale. Pulito e con tutto il necessario per soggiorni brevi o più lunghi.
- Alexandru (10/5): Exceptional - The location is close to the city center. Many good restaurand near the location, away for the center if you are looking for a quiet mood. The host was great and helpfull. The location is nice and clean, everything was perfect.
- Pavel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pavel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mirela (9/5): Superb -
- Timka (7/5): Good for overnight sleep, but not recommend it for longer period - The room is as advartised on the photos: nice and new.
The kitchen is relatively well equiped.
The sleeping area is also looking nice, so is the bathroom.
There is air conditioning in the room. Some information are missing from the advert:
- All in all: the room is nice and good, except if you want to have a good night sleep in it. See details below.
- The door of the apartment opens from the street, and it is just a glass door. Hence no noise cancelling, and you hear everything that is happening in the street, which might be a problem if you want to sleep at night: people talking in front of the door, car parking in front of the door and slamming the door, people firing fireworks in the nearby square, the tire repair shop next to the apartment, and the tourist groups coming in the morning to the next door tourist office.
- The apartment has only one, but small window. Hence to have fresh air in the room, you'll need to open the door that is opening directly to the street.
- There is air conditioning, but has minimal to zero effect on the sleeping area situated above it (at the top floor). So the sleeping area is warm, and you can hardly cool it down, since the small window is not helping either.
- The bed is very nice, but has a very hard matrace. Too hard even for people who like it hard.
- The hot water is provided by a small gas boiler, operated from a gas bottle. Hence sometimes no pressure, hence it stops, hence the hot water goes away in the middle of your showering.
- When any kind of water starts (tap, shower, or toilet), a very high pitched sound is heard (probably a pressure pump). This sound continues for an additional 30 seconds after you stop the water. Hence when somebody goes out to take a pee in the middle of the night, wakes up the whole appartment.
- Bonus: there is only one narrow wardrobe cabinet. Would be nice if there would be a bigger one, just so 4 people for several days would have where to put their clothes and not need to dress from the bags.
- Ivett (8/5): I can recommend it - Clean and well maintained The bed was too small for 2 people downstairs
- Anton (8/5): Very good - the location was great, the apartment was very clean and the reality corresponded fairly to the description. I had to pay cash the municipality tax which equaled 2€/person
- Karen (8/5): Photos reflected the apartment and we were happy with the apartment overall. - Location close to markets and restaurants. Very clean with comfortable beds. Great to have a washing machine and drying rack with pegs. Good kettle and coffee machine. Nice quality linen. Netflix TV. No stairs. No wine glasses. More drinking glasses would be handy.
- Besim (10/5): Good location! - Everything was perfect, good location, clean place, nice communication.
- Borce (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miriam (8/5): Very good - Clean, quiet, good air conditioning. There was some equipment missing from the kitchen (chopping board, sharp knife etc) so it was not easy to prepare a meal.
- Milan (10/5): We only spent one night here before our flight home, but a very pleasant one! Thanks - perfect location within walking distance to the old downtown, restaurants and bars nearby - still quiet at night. Comfy beds and bathroom. Tea and coffee was kind surpise in the morning.
- Razvan (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, cozy, comfortable, fully equipped, recently renovated apartment. Very friendly and helpful owner. Easy check-in/ check-out procedure. We received free croissants and coffee. The apartment is perfect for 3 persons.
The apartment location is very good, literally near Ursino Castle, close to the historic city center. Plenty of restaurants, coffee-shops, markets nearby. Same kind of stale smell (the apartment has only one window). The A/C not managed to cool enough the double bed section from upstairs.
- Mici (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katarzyna (8/5): Very good - Easy check in, very close to the old town, clean and well equipped apartment. The smell of mould is difficult to handle.
- Ahdout (10/5): Exceptional - everything was new and very clean! great location for Catania
- Ales (10/5): Exceptional - Flat after very successful reconstruction! Cozy rooms, modernly furnitured and great location in the centre. Parking is possible on the streets close to the apartment. .
- Radu (9/5): Superb - Location is very close to center and it was very clean. Owner was very kind and helpfull. There are noises coming from street during the night but seem to be something normal for the city.
- Nikola (10/5): Exceptional - Location is perfect, apartment is great. Impeccably clean and neat. Also, I read some comments complaining about noise at night, but we were sleeping like babies. Everything was 10 out of 10.
- Matilda (10/5): Exceptional - We liked it very much. Well organized, comfortable, everything clean & very good location.
- Zoltan (9/5): Nice apartment on a nice location - Our hosts were very kind. We were very happy with the welcome gifts.
The location of the apartment is perfect, practically next to Ursino Castle. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
The furnishings of the apartment are very nice, everything was chosen with good taste and care. The sofa bed was small for two. There was also a guest bed that collapsed immediately when someone tried to lie on it. Finally, one member of our family slept on the floor on the mattress taken from the guest bed. Neither this, nor the sofa bed were really comfortable.
The air conditioner could not be adjusted to cool the gallery level. It was very hot in the gallery, but at the same time we were cold on the ground floor.
Adjusting the hot water was quite tricky and even for one person it was not enough for a shower.
