Guest Reviews
- Blaas (7/5): - Die Lage war super. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in direkter Nähe. Der Balkon war bei der Anreise sehr schmutzig. Müll und voller Aschenbecher vom Vormieter.
Die Wohnung war nett eingerichtet aber sie roch sehr unangenehm durch die Abflüsse. Dies wurde dann durch einen Duftspender vertuscht. Dieser wurde von uns wegen Allergie nach draußen gestellt, so dass wir dann mit dem üblen Geruch leben mußten. Die Wohnung ist nicht zu empfehlen.
- Tunde (7/5): - Nem azt a szobát kaptuk amit lefoglaltam
- Jowita Janoszka (10/5): Jowita - Z całego serca polecam noclegi u Antonio 👍🙂 Lepszej lokalizacji nie mogłam sobie wymarzyć - wszędzie blisko, zabytki i atrakcje na wyciągnięcie ręki. Super cena za lokalizację w samym centrum miasta. Mieszkanie było świetnie przygotowane, czyste, przestrzenne, z dwoma balkonami. Łóżka bardzo wygodne, dwie łazienki, darmowe Wi-Fi. Po prostu wszystko czego potrzeba podczas pobytu. Rewelacyjne dla pary lub grupki znajomych. Było wyposażone we wszystko czego potrzebowałyśmy dzięki gospodarzowi, który służy pomocą we wszystkim, jest bardzo życzliwy, otwarty do ludzi, uśmiechnięty i dostępny dla swoich lokatorów kiedy potrzeba. Mogłyśmy liczyć nawet na transfer prosto na lotnisko ( z lotniska również jeśli byśmy tylko potrzebowały), a było to dla nas bardzo ważne posiadając dodatkowy bagaż. Jeżeli będę wracać do Katanii to tylko do apartamentów Enjoy u Antonio i moim przyjaciołom i znajomym również będę polecać te mieszkania. Wszystko na plus, nie zauważyłam żadnych minusów.
- Anita (7/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Buonssimo appartamento,vicino a tutti e vicino la apparmente ci sono tante restorante buonissime - The appartamento e bello e giusto per una famiglia e anche comodo per chi e su la sedia rotella perche ce la ascensore ,
Non vedo l ora di andare di nuovo Che dorme su divando sente freddo e non ce comperte
- Sophie (9/5): Très bien ! - L'appartement est idéalement situé dans le centre-ville. Tous les sites sont facilement accessibles à pieds.
Le lit est très confortable.
Les 2 salles de bain sont vraiment appréciables.
Nous reviendrons sûrement ! Rien !
- riku (9/5): Kaiken kaikkiaan ihan ok majoitus - Sijainti oli hyvä. Parveke oli hyvä lisä Sisustus hieman vanhahtava, toinen ilmastointilaite ei toiminut kunnolla. Vuokraisäntä ei saapunut kohteeseen ajoissa.
- Yuliia (9/5): Привітність власника є великим плюсом! - Ми зупинились в апартаментах на добу. Сподобалось розташування квартири в центрі біля площі Дуомо та рибного ринку з багатьма ресторанами. Привітний власник. Підводив вай фай - постійно вибивав. Була проблема з гарячою водою, але власник вирішив питання.
- Adrienn (8/5): Nice place, good value for money🙂 - Great location, restaurants, car and scooter rental, bars are very close to the accomodation. House was extremely clean, host was amazingly flexible. 🙂 Well equipped kitchen, two small balconies, comfy bed.
- Alise (8/5): Very good - The host is great and makes sure to provide all the help the guests need, also the location for the apartment the apartment itself is amazing! It was very cold in the apartment and one of the toilet seats was broken.
- Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - It was right in the heart of the city center. Absolutely fantastic host. The house is clean and comfortable. It has all the amenities you need, especially in the kitchen. If you enjoy a late night movie, nice, big television in the bedroom with streaming services. In general it was a nice stay!
- Vikestad (9/5): For us, in total, this apartment was next to perfect, with a lot of space and good value for money. - The apartment is close to the bus terminal (S. Borsellino) and close to the Duomo, and still in a relatively quiet street. Nice park outside Borgo Ursino just 100m away. OK restaurants and bars near by. One of them had live music outside in the evening - ending shortly after midnight (dis not keep us awake). We received the keys in the bar some 50m up street (the one closest to Borgo Ursino). Had to wait a long time before the hot water came (1 minute..) - be patient!
- Margaret (10/5): We stayed 2 bed apartment 1st floor - Excellent communiction with video of where to collect keys nd directions to the apartment for self check in as we were unsure of time of arrival. great location literally just around corner from castello ursino and 5 min walk through local street markets into piazza duomo catherdral, elephant fountain and town with plenty of shopping and restuarants along the way. Extremely comfortable apartment with air conditioning in prime location would highly reccommend this especially for family as very spacious 2bedroom one with ensuite and larger family bathroom down the hallway.sitting room/kitchen small but very functional was perfect for just 2 of us, very small balcony over looking front of building nd narrow street its on but still room to park outside if you were driving. Other reviews i read said noisy outside might disturb sleep but we didnt find this at all. Maybe time of year as was october but was still busy area both day and night. I think photos on booking we seen were different but i think they were for 1bed apt nd it was a 2 bed apt we were given but All basics covered and no compliants
- Pam (10/5): - I would love to live in this beautiful apt!!
- Katarzyna (7/5): Good -
- Michael (10/5): 5 star premium service of Antonio! - Great Appartement and 5 star service of Antonio. He organised the transfer and told us great locations. He took care about everything. Thank you! The apartment is located very close to the city centre and has an elevator. Nothing
- Oleksandra (8/5): It was a very pleasant stay. - The apartment is very nice and clean. Location is great - very central, 3 minutes walk to the famous fish market and all great restaurants, 5 minutes walk from the Piazza Duomo and Elephant Fountain. Be prepared to hear some music or other performances from nearby almost all night long. Generally you accept it as it is summer and overall festive vibes around. But may not be suitable if you need to rest in a quiet environment or have small children.
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Korsten (8/5): Very cosy and homey apartment, perfectly located. -
- Paul (10/5): Amazing stay in the center of Catania - The apartment is amazing. Cosy, right in the center and well equipped for everything you need. As a bonus, Antonio is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met with a great and friendly attitude, ready to help us out so we can have a great holiday. What is not to love about the place? Everything is perfect.
- Vasil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nevenka (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice appartment, helpful owner, lift, comfortable bed.
- Jasmina (9/5): Superb -
- Jae (10/5): Fantastic!! - Antonio is kind and quick to respond. He did his best to answer questions. Apartment was large enough to stay for 2. Like other B&Bs in old town, finging parking space was not easy.
- Flora (10/5): Exceptional -
- Niya (5/5): Nice location, hard to park a car, not pleasant stay. - The location The wi-fi at the premises and TV in living room did not work. We contacted the host twice, he assured that the assistance will come and fix, and nothing happened. Also be aware that they request picture/or will take it personally/ of your ID cards and city tax to be paid in advance.
- Nevyana (8/5): Very good - Good location with real possibility to park your car near to the building. Comfortable bed and 2 bathrooms. The furniture is old. We don't have wifi, and it's difficult to use mobile networks on your phone because of the buildings. So we don't have internet at all.
- Kameliya (8/5): Very good - I liked that there was everything you need in one apartment. It is in a good and communicative place You can quickly reach the center on foot in 5-6 minutes. As a tip, bring house slippers because the floor is cold. I didn't like that the landlord wanted a photo of your document in advance ID card, Before check-in, but they have such a law in Catania that you must be registered before 24 hours of stay.But overall it was good and we had a good time.
- Fabio (7/5): Come complicarsi la vita!! - Bella la posizione e anche l'appartamento molto carino. Our expectations were high for such a lovely place but unfortunately we've got disappointed. Firstly, we chose this place because its check in was earlier than other places but the owner made us wait for 30 minutes and pick the keys up from his work place which was not far but instructions were confusing and not clear(the owner sent videos to find his place). Once we got the place, we found out little things weren't working properly, such as the TV (of course, nobody goes on holiday to stay the whole day in a hotel in Sicily but my husband caught a cold and couldn't go out as we thought and he had only internet on his phone). And finally, the check out time was: from 9.30 to 10.30, as we were a bit weak and sick we never imagined this would happen to us! When we got up at 9.30 due our weakness and tiredness from our cold, Water and energy went off!!!!, why didnt the owner said that the check out was 9.30 an not 10.30?! so, we left this place without a shower and breakfast.
- Marko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marta (7/5): Good - Nice location , big space. instead of a duvet there is only a sheet and I was cold during the night. quite dirty in the bathroom. the owner didn't provide the key code right away, so we had to take photos of our passports first and then go back to one of the pubs to get the key, instead of walking there calmly.
- Yns79 (9/5): Superb - Nice place, clean, great location, Antonio gave us specific instructions for self checkin, he even made us a video. We arrive saturday night, location is central so it was crowded. It was difficult to find a parking space but we finally manage to get a free one close to the location. In the morning there were a lot of free spaces...
- Agnes (9/5): Wonderful location! - Great apartment in the centre of Catania.
Clean and comfortable, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies, we loved the decorations and paintings as well.
You can easily reach all the central destinations in Catania by foot.
We always found a parking place on the street.
Nice kiosk around the corner with cheap drinks and nice food. The fridge desperately needs replacement. It is old and rusty, door doesn't close well.
Wi-fi didn't work, but fortunately we had our roaming and we didn't need it.
- Halbi100 (10/5): Very good place with perfect location - Location perfect! Very close to The Old City. The apartment is very big and perfect equipped and Antonio- the host is very nice and helpful. I'll come back here for sure!
- Mary (9/5): Superb - the place, the area the internet connection but overall everything is great
- Rostislavp (9/5): Superb -
- Íris (10/5): Exceptional - Everything including the host nothing
- Marko (1/5): Bad - Location as near city center was nice but street itself not so good Almost everything else was catastrophic! Internet was not working all the time , we had hot water only about 4-5 minutes per shower so only one persone could bath, etc. Host was promising us to fix everything and than despisers on the second day. Worst experiance ever!!! Avoid this accomodation!
- Silviarut (7/5): Good - The owner was extremely nice. Excellent location. We really liked the apartment except for the funky mold smell. They have a problem with mildew in the bathroom. Opening the windows helped. The mold smell
- Ralitsa (8/5): Would book it again - Good value for money, perfect location in the heart of the city center. Nice surprise was the second small bathroom in the sleeping room. No wine bottle opener :) Also the ACs seemed to lack a bit power, yet, they worked.
- Matan (4/5): Disappointing - Location. The apartment needs renovation, uncomfortable bed and pillows, when we entered there was a smell of cigarettes, peeling walls, cheap furniture and in general it felt unclean.
Not recommend at all.
The host was half an hour late for our scheduled check-in time.
- Tomislav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ľubomír (4/5): The photo of the bathroom on the booking is not real. There are not two bathrooms in the apartment, but two toilets. The - The location is excellent. The apartment has potential. There is a sense of mustiness. The bathroom is in dire need of renovation. Black mold on the ceiling. The shower hose is all moldy. The shower does not drain and you are standing in water. The bedspread was very dirty. I wouldn't wash it again. And the towels were old, ruined. Today, it is not a problem to buy these things cheaply at Ikea. The kitchen was neglected, the dishes were dirty. Fridge disaster. It's not enough to be nice. Rather, it is necessary to ensure that the guests spend their stay in a clean apartment. I do not recommend. And I'm not demanding.
- Artur (4/5): Good location, spacious apartment, poor host - Good location - close to main Catanian landmarks, spacious aparment with separate bedroom and additional toilet in the bedroom, balcony Host is an ostensibly nice person. He seems to be nice and helpful, but all he says are cliché and corny statements and recommends places that everybody who arrived to Catania knows. We had to wait for him almost an hour, although we set a check-in time before arrival with his consent. We lost valuable time of light, which in November is pricless. Dirty bathroom, plenty of mould in the shower stall, bed in the living room in poor condition.
- Catherine (8/5): Very good - A great area to see everything that you want to see. The apartment is very spacious with lots of doors/windows. We were very happy to have spent 2 nights here. Highly recommend!
- Olya (8/5): Very good - The location is near the historic center. You can park in front of the door on the street. The bathroom was not clean
- Josefína (9/5): Superb - + elevator, two balconies, two bathrooms, - Location is in the city centre, however the neighbourhood is kind of dirty
- Ari0809 (10/5): Great stop over to fly back home. - The location was central with many restaurants and pubs at walking distanceThe apartment was very tidy .The owner Antonio was very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcomed and special.There was an incident with a tap,he came over with a plumber to fix it right away.I will recommend anyone to stay here. Nothing
