Great location in city centre. Lovely modern apartment with all necessities present. Good AC. Nice bathroom. Nice view. Friendly and helpful host. Overall just a lovely comfortable place to stay in Catania to explore the city.

Apartment is on the 2nd floor, so you need to take some stairs to get there, which we didn't mind but could be uncomfortable for people with mobility issues. Kitchen lacked some items, like a big pan and sharp knives. Doors to the bedroom and bathroom were more a visible barrier than a closing door. So not much privacy if wanted.

"Very good"

8.0

The location was fantastic - in the very center of the city. The apartment had all facilities that you need for a nice stay there (including oven, microwave, washing machine, tv, etc.). It was also spacious.

The building has a lot of narrow stairs - not comfortable for people with a lot of luggage.

"Lovely apartment, excellent host."

10.0

Although we didn't meet Paolo in person he was very friendly and helpful by message ,letting us check in early and helping us find parking. The apartment is perfect - very clean with everything you need including a washing machine and iron and drying rack. It's a great location , very central but pretty quiet and about a 20 minute walk to the station. Nicely decorated and seems very new. Good value for money when we went in October. Highly recommend .
