- Barus (7/5): Per total a fost ok - Locația este în centru Ar mai putea fi îmbunătățită
- Miriam (6/5): Ottimo solo per la posizione il resto molto migliorabile - Ottima la posizione per un soggiorno molto breve La pulizia, era più o meno pulito ma c'era cattivo odore, in bagno di urina stantia e nella doccia di muffa, dovrebbe essere arieggiato meglio e magari cambiare il wc o mettere un coperchio per evitare il cattivo odore, la scala di accesso presentava escrementi di piccioni. I mobiletti erano rotti, appena lo aprivi per prendere un palettina per il caffè ti cadeva in mano, non c'era nemmeno una bottiglietta d'acqua di benvenuto. Per fare funzionare la macchina del caffè dovevi togliere la ciabatta perché non funzionante.
- Loreana (10/5): -
- Giulia (8/5): Tutto ok - Casa centrale e vicinissima a piazza duomo con fermata bus per aeroporto proprio di fronte. La casa è grande e ci sono due bagni. Anche se alcune cose sarebbero da sistemare, il rapporto qualità prezzo è buono. Unica pecca è stato possibile lasciare i bagagli in appartamento dopo il check out solo per un' ora circa.Sono comunque presenti deposito bagagli in zona
- Gromesova (8/5): Ubytování bylo fajn svoji polohou, tim ze dostanete kody a muzete se ubytovat kdykoliv, ale pár chybiček se najde. - Ubytování bylo v centru, vše super dostupné. Opravila bych sprchový kout, který má už dost za sebou a odpad v koupelně, který dost smrděl. A také postel, která má už vyležený důlek.
- Olga (8/5): -
- Tajana (2/5): - Location amd comunication with the owner. No heating, only 2 ac working poor, cold cold bathroom. Very dirty, poor facilities, humid walls, fake window in bedroom, broken window in shower.
- Nunziante (8/5): Da migliorare - La posizione Ho chiesto un intervento perché la macchinetta del caffè non funzionava…….non é mai venuto nessuno

- Ella (8/5): -

- Parrino (6/5): - La posizione molto centrale. La cucina attrezzata dell indispensabile. il titolare nn si è fatto vedere, ha mandato dei video con whatsapp con i codici x aprire la casa il che non rende la sicurezza come previsto per legge.
Un bagno senza finestra e maleodorante
Altro bagno senza doccia
- Nataxa (10/5): - Everything aas good and it was in the centre
- Iwona (5/5): - La posizione La mancata pulizia della doccia.
- Carla (5/5): - Location and the host sent clearly the info for the check in via wa. On the other hand he never replied back in Booking.com The pictures are very dated and they don’t show the bad status of the forniture. Not sure why the sofà bed was left open for the whole stay making not possible the use of the leaving room space to Seat. The access to the building is in terrible status with pigeon excrement everywhere. One morning there was no light but the host quickly restored the electricity. The bathroom are not well mantained and with no Windows
- josette (5/5): - Good location it was near the markets and shops.. the apartment was good The sofa bed and the bed wasn't comfortable at all ,you wake up with back pain

- Gyöngyi (8/5): - Nagyon jó helyen van, minden könnyedén elérhető. A lakás kifejezetten tágas, kényelmes. Ár-érték arányban megfelelő. Erősen felújításra szorul, a konyha felszereltsége nulla.
- Artur (8/5): Super apartament na krótkie pobyty. - Super lokalizacja. Przystanek autobusowy przy apartamencie. Bardzo blisko przystanek metro. Wszelkie atrakcje w pobliżu apartametu. Market Penny kawiarnie i restauracje również blisko. Sofa w salonie mało wygodna ale po całym dniu zwiedzania mozna było odpocząć.

Entrence door is metal ,hevy and loud .
- Iryna (7/5): - Location is perfect!
- Mendolaro (7/5): Bene ma non benissimo - Ottima posizione, comoda per visitare il centro La casa seppur spaziosa e accogliente ha presentato alcune criticità come la doccia che non scaricava e emanava cattivo odore, in un bagno cieco e senza ventola di aspirazione, tv non funzionanti.
L'ultimo giorno prima di lasciare la casa siamo rimasti inspiegabilmente senza acqua.
- Taia (10/5): -
- Юлия Калвунова (10/5): - This place is nice 👌
- Verona (6/5): - The location of the flat is perfect, not noisy. The flat was spacious and had everything you'd need during the stay. Check-in and checkout are very easy. The bathroom needs a renovation (broken window left open, tiles falling out, showerheads need a deep clean, toilet seat broken...), the mattress isn't comfortable anymore and the pillows are horrible. Cleaning isn't the best either, but not horrible.
Other than these things the flat was nice.

- Tereza (8/5): -
- Selven Sooreeyen (7/5): Pleasant stay. - Ideal location- right in the centre of Catania The furniture was a bit old. Sofa bed was not comfy
- Fabiana (9/5): -
- Volkan (10/5): - Konum harika ev harika
- Noelia (1/5): Un piso muy dejado - Lo bueno que tiene es la ubicación, pero el apartamento deja mucho q desear cuando podría ser muy bueno El aire acondicionado no funcionaba y hacía muchísimo calor, 29 grados.La limpieza brillaba por su ausencia, la lámpara llevaba años sin limpiarse, las cortinas sucias, nos encontramos pelos en el baño, la cisterna no funcionaba, el microondas tampoco…
- Mattia (7/5): - Ottima posizione.
- Roland (10/5): A belváros szívében egy kis, hangulatos apartman. - Nagyon jó elhelyezkesésű, minden nagyon közel volt, éttermek, bárok, boltok. Hangulatos utcában, a belvárosban mégis csendes helyen. Az egyik klíma nem hűtött.
- Marzocchella (6/5): - Sicuramente la cosa che mi e piaciuta e stata la posizione praticamente in centro e la casa che era molto grande. Pentole sporche. E praticamente cacate di piccioni ovunque davanti all'ingresso e in tutta la zona del cortile.
- Davide (7/5): -
- Ilaria Mattogno (9/5): Molto buono - Ottima posizione, casa grande e luminosa.
Buona pulizia Una sola doccia, i bagni un po' scomodi.

- Achraf (5/5): A very disappointing experience !the apartment is not fit for hosting guests in its current condition. - The only positive aspect was the location. The apartment is centrally located in Catania’s historical city center, close to major attractions. Unfortunately, everything else was extremely disappointing.
The staircase leading to the apartment was in terrible condition — very dirty and with broken steps.
As soon as we opened the apartment door, we were hit by a strong, unbearable smell, making it impossible to stay inside.
The bathroom was dirty, the floor was filthy, and even the bed linen smelled bad.
The kitchen was poorly equipped, and the only pan available still had burnt food residue.
One of the two air conditioners didn’t work, which made the apartment even more uncomfortable during the hot summer days.
We had a car, and it was extremely difficult to find parking nearby. We contacted the host asking for any suggestions or guidance about where to park, but unfortunately we received no helpful response.
With such conditions, Booking.com shouldn’t proposed in their platform
- Gianluca (5/5): Con una riqualificazione diventerebbe certamente l’alloggio ideale per godersi al meglio Catania. - Spazi ampi, check in anticipato, subito in centro e in posizione tranquilla. L’host disponibilissimo. Divano letto sporco e scomodo. Lo stendi panni era rotto. Il condizionatore in sala non funziona bene e il bagno è purtroppo il vero tarlo. Emana un odore sgradevole di urina e inoltre la doccia era veramente sporca.
- José Pedro (8/5): - Localização. Tamanho do apartamento bom para familias. Ar condicionado da sala nao arrefece eficazmente. Algum desgaste na infraestrutura do apartamento.
- Gabriella (8/5): - Egy éjszakára tökéletes
- Matías (5/5): -
- Melina (3/5): Το μόνο που άξιζε ήταν η τοποθεσία - Το μόνο που μας άρεσε ήταν ότι το σπίτι βρισκόταν μέσα στο κέντρο . Η είσοδος ήταν βρώμικη . Υπήρχε πόσες μέρες ένα νεκρό Περιστέρι και κανένας δεν το καθάριζε . Πεταμένα σεντόνια καθαρά σε σακούλες μέσα στην είσοδο . Το δωμάτιο μέσα σχετικά καλό μεγάλο μπάνιο αν και μύριζε η τουαλέτα .
- Violetta (6/5): If you stay for a night the location saves you - The location is perfect. The linen and towels are white and clean. Two toilets. The coffee machine. The furniture which is old and dirty. The sofa (which is broken) and the bed are very uncomfortable to sleep. The lights haven’t been cleaned for years, probably the curtains also. It is smelly. There were open wires in the bathroom. One of the air-conditioner didn’t work properly. It showed always 28 and it felt hot. It is the first floor but there are many stairs and no lift.
- Marco (9/5): - Modalità di check in, posizione centrale, casa accogliente nulla in particolare
- Mária (9/5): -
- Alvin Morogo (10/5): -
- Marco (9/5): - Ottima posizione. A pochi passi dal centro. Appartamento spazioso e pulito
- Simona (8/5): - Appartamento molto carino, grande e comodo. Posizione ottima in pieno centro storico vicino a tutti i punti di interesse La pulizia non era impeccabile e ci sarebbe da fare un pò di manutenzione
- Montero Rivero (7/5): - La posizione La pulizia
- Веселина (10/5): Много сме доволни от престоя си! - Местоположението е страхотно!
- Mirela (7/5): - L’emplacement, la proximité du centre, la dimension de l’appartement L’air climatisé ne fonctionnait pas, le lit dans le salon n’était pas confortable et la toilette avait un fort odeur
- Elena (8/5): - La ubicación muy buena. El contacto con el anfitrión correcto y la llegada fácil y bien indicada La limpieza mejorable y los útiles de limpieza, tuvimos que comprar para fregar los platos incluso. El resto la verdad que muy bien
- Luciana (10/5): - Muy cómodo, bien ubicado y luminoso. Estaba limpio y Giulio muy atento.
- Oktavi (10/5): Iesaku!Ļoti jauks , plašs dzīvoklis, labā lokācijā - Ļoti plašs un labi iekārtots dzīvoklis. 2 tualetes, kafija, ledus, trauki...
Laba atrašanās vieta nav tālu no vilcienu un autobusa stacijas, tuvu apskates objektiem viss bija labi
- Nadia (9/5): -
- Simona (9/5): - Ottima posizione. Stanze luminose e spaziose con un ottima disposizione degli spazi. Comodi i due bagni. Cucina funzionale. Nulla da segnalare.
- Antonella (9/5): - Tutto
- Sergio_82 (7/5): - Ottima posizione per poter girare il centro di catania e raggiungere la stazione Alcuni dettaglio non andavano proprio, per esempio alcune prese della corrente si staccavano dalla parete, soprattutto quella in bagno vicino al lavandino risultava essere molto pericolosa
- chris (8/5): Nice stay in Catania - Nice, location as it was walkable to all sites and restaurants. Metro was also close if needed. Bus stops out front. AC worked well and apartment was spacious. Black out curtains or shutters for windows would have been nice.
- Lorenzo (8/5): - Posizione centrale Prese assenti in bagno (una non funzionante)
- Enrico (6/5): - Posizione strategica Struttura datata
- Madzik (9/5): -
- Alessandro B. (3/5): Un'esperienza negativa - Posizione molto centrale. Una bottiglietta d'acqua fredda in frigo, apprezzato di questi caldi. Hanno la decenza di non chiedere cifre sproporzionate e rimane il principale pregio dell'accomodation La camera era sporca, con ragni e scarafaggi. Siamo stati svegliati alle 7 dai vicini che urlavano: il loro appartamento comunica con la stanza da letto tramite una porta a vetri (chiusa). Poi, giusto a conferma se eravamo veramente svegli, alle 8.30 (un'ora e mezza prima del checkout) il personale delle pulizie si è messo a bussare alla porta per verificare se eravamo in stanza (!!!).
Bagno pieno di calcare, interni molto mal ridotti e da rinnovare. Prese della corrente rotte che, inserendo la spina, rientravano sul muro.
Le foto ci hanno veramente ingannato, se non costasse due spicci avremmo veramente chiesto un rimborso...
- maria cecilia (7/5): -
- Giedre (6/5): -
- Andreea (10/5): -
- Mariyana (10/5): - the organization was perfect, the apartment was clean. The location is unique. Everything corresponds to the description and photos.
- severine (5/5): - L'emplacement est vraiment top pour se balader à pieds .
Entrée autonome Le matelas est trop vétuste et le sommier était cassé .
La douche est comme le matelas vétuste antartrée,pas propre.
2 prises inutilisables, se décrochent du mur.
2 toilettes mais 1 chasse d eau qui ne fonctionne pas
Très sombre en journée
Pas de volets pour la nuit
Très compliqué de se garer à proximité de l appartement.
- Katarzyna (10/5): Polecam! Elegancja i komfort. Idealny na weekend. - Apartament elegancki, przestronny, dobrze wyposażony, bardzo czysty , doskonała lokalizacja! hałas z ulicy i światło wpadające do pokoju nocą
- Emanuele (7/5): - La posizione centrale e vicina a molti servizi, l'insonorizzazione, il wifi, il rapporto qualità prezzo Il confort dei letti.
- PAOLA (8/5): Catania meravigliosa, soggiorno soddisfacente! - Ottima posizione! Stanze ampie, due bagni,arredato bene! Host disponibile e chiaro nelle indicazioni. La doccia nel bagno principale che andrebbe migliorata, in quanto piuttosto usurata.
- anna (5/5): -
- Nadezhda (8/5): - Great location ! Good communication with the owner!
- Jorge (3/5): Con potencial pero necesita una renovación - Esta céntrico y por el precio es aceptable para una estancia corta. La ubicación está muy bien y el personal es amable La ducha necesita una renovación.
El baño tiene un olor desagradable, y el producto químico usado para cubrirlo es demasiado fuerte.
Durante la estancia encontramos una cucaracha en el apartamento.
El edificio parece en parte abandonado
- Maya (10/5): -
- Koleva (8/5): -
- Larry (7/5): Big apartment in a good location. - The location is good - a block from the Amphitheater and easy walk to the main square - and there is lots of space. Nice to have a large bathroom and huge shower. The place shows its age. A broken window in the shower, broken tiles on the stairs up to the door. The clothes drying rack was broken, and the shower tile needs a serious cleaning around the corners. A bit noisy at night, but not bad. It's still good place to stay but with a refurbishment it would be a solid ten and worth a lot more than we paid.
- Roberto (6/5): Ottima posizione, ma pulizia e dettagli da rivedere - Posizione e disponibilità del host Pulizia e stato della casa. Le scale di accesso sono in uno stato di degrado totale, la doccia puzza di umidità e il bollitore è incrostato di calcare. Serve fare un po’ di manutenzione e curare la pulizia. Il divano letto è molto scomodo
- Imma (9/5): Tout parfait! Merci Giulio ☺️ - Outre l'emplacement très central et stratégique, l'appartement est spacieux et équipé de tout le confort. On a tout fait à pied. Je n'hésiterai pas à recommander cet appartement à ma famille et mes amis. Si je devais retourner à Catane, Zefnea House aux yeux fermés ! Un peu d'humidité au niveau de la douche. Mais cela reste resolvable, donc ma note ne changera pas.
- Mª ELENA (5/5): - El sitio donde se encuentra Pensamos que eran dos camas y no era así....una de ellas era sofá cama incomodo para dos adultos
