Guest Reviews

• Clara (7/5): - Die Wohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir kamen spät abends mit dem Zug an. Die blöde Nähe zum Bahnhof und die tolle Betreuung wären dem Sekbst Check In waren super! Insbesondere am Abend war es eine ruhige Gegend. Die Wohnung benötigt mal wieder etwas Pflege. Die Waschmaschine pumpt nicht ordentlich ab und einige andere Dinge müssten in Angriff genommen werden.
• Antonino (6/5): -
• Kamil (1/5): Nightmare on via Tezzano - The only plus was the location near the Catania Centrale station. After reading other reviews I expected at least a decent place to get cleaned and sleep but it was not possible there. After arriving in the room we could see it was dusty and not properly cleaned, there were some dead bugs and many live flies which were everywhere. The worst part was the upper bathroom. When we opened the bathroom we could smell some kind of stench. It smelled like sewage pipes. Even though we left the bathroom ventilator on all day while we were gone during the day the smell didn't go away. Even worse was the state of the shower. It looked like it was never cleaned. The walls were wet, the floor and tiles were very dirty and maybe even moldy. After the shower was turned on for a while the water was dripping from the ceiling. We were scared to get a shower there. The bed was not bad but it was not possible to get any sleep because you could hear every sound from the busy street. And I do mean every sound: every car, every motorcycle, every person walking by sounded like you were outside despite the fact that all windows and doors were properly closed. It really felt like sleeping on a highway. In the morning I texted the property manager about it and told him we want to leave. He suggested no solution, instead he begged us to try another night claiming it must have been something out of the ordinary. Since we had planned all day away from the city and had no time to move to another location eventually we agreed to stay another night. When we got back around 9-10 PM we were surprised to find the street was full of prostitutes but the cherry on top was finding one girl "working" on her customer just a few meters from the apartment door. As the night before the street was very loud and the bonus was hearing how the girls talk and scream near our door. If we didn't buy earplugs we wouldn't get any sleep at all again. I don't recommend this accommodation at all, you can find better stay in the area instead of this one.
• Shu (9/5): Superb -
• Justyna (9/5): Superb -
• Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrea (10/5): It was a wonderful stay! The house is super cozy, equipped and clean. It is in a very quiet area with easy access to all -
• Naoto (9/5): Superb -
• Tuba (8/5): Perfect Location. - The location of the apartment is in the best place possible. I went on foot to important places like Theater Massimo. Wifi connection was very good and overall it was a nice house. I found the brochure shared by the owner very useful. N/A
• Brian (5/5): Good location but some issues need to be rectified - A big believer in starting with the positive. -A large two storey apartment with plenty of room. -large upstairs bedroom with its own ensuite. -good internet connection -good location to train and bus stations -food markets nearby and now for some constructive criticism. The apartment electricity power- -the apartment does not have enough incoming electricity -the power constantly triggers off when using just two or three of the following combinations/ 1 air cond/ 1 stove hot plate/1 hair dryer/washing machine/apartment lights. Note: we only used the hot plate to boil water for tea/coffee as there was no kettle in the apartment. It became increasingly frustrating having to continually to turn the power back on. Downstairs air conditioning There was obviously a problem with the downstairs A/C. It would only remain on for approx 5 mins then cut out (even though the indicator showed it was still on). Once again, it became increasingly frustrating to having to constantly (this was mostly during the cold evenings) turn it back on and wait the few minutes for it to work again (but only for the 5 minutes). We have been advised by the property manager that a technician will be checking system once we leave. Unfortunately, a bit to late for us. -we suggest to the owner to ensure that there is a blanket available/accessible. This was eventually rectified by the property manager who came to look at the A/C (without success) -we also found the bed to be too hard for out liking. -the washing machine was difficult to use, particularly the dryer as it wasn’t clear how to adjust temperature and this shrank some of our clothes. I asked the manager, but she had no idea and even with Google it didn’t seem to operate as instructed.
• Ryper_25 (10/5): Great stay, would recommend and visit again. - Great location near bus & train stations. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms with great amenities. Fast WiFi & Smart TV. Nothing
• Anatoly (8/5): Very good -
• Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rosi (8/5): Very good -
• Iryna (5/5): Wasn't pleasant experience - The interior design was pleasant. The location, although very close to Central Station, was not so safe, there were prostitutes on the corner of the property. The parking, that is mentioned, is just parking at the road (not recommended for the safety of the car) so we had to pay extra at a private parking lot. There were no direction from the host, how to turn on warm water and the aircodition. As resolt we had to take shower with cold water. There were not enought pillows for all the visitors, so two guest slept with no pillow. In general the host made the self check in diffucult, because of the lack on knowledge of English
• Azeem (10/5): Delightful - Architecture There should be another TV upstairs. Coffee arrangement needs improvement. Direction, location on the map from the Centralé station could be highlighted
• Michal (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect host, easy communication. Apartment close to central station and to the city centre. Flat itself also very nice ! Highly recommended.
