Location was great!!! Super close to the main areas of Catania. Spacious room with balcony, private toilet which was cleaned every day and so could be the room but we chosen to leave it since was only 3 night stay.
Friendly hosts and easy check in.
There is no free parking around the area, we always ended up finding in the next street "via e.a. pantano" is paid parking in the street but some how usually there is some spot for parking

Pozele nu sunt reale. Wi-fi-ul nu merge. Mizerie peste tot!! Peretii murdari, scaunul din camera la fel, perdelele ingrozitoare, peretele de la baie cade peste tine.

The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom was private but external however, it didn't bother us at all! The location is perfect as it's very close to restaurants and Via Etnea.

It looks like a magic place, it's relatively hidden, without name on the door and you need a code to pass the door.. my daughters enjoy the magic of the open doors with a code.. it is an easy welcome without physical reception.
Loss of previous communication over the entry to the residence, I was without internet and the residence had no name on the door, just a number. I reached to contact the host by a nearby shop and he explains me that I needed a WiFi networks to see the code to entry..

The property is located close to the city center. The owner eas helpful and the self check-in eas very easy. The bed was comfortable.
We had a private bathroom, but it was not adjacent to the room, it was down the hall. The walls and doors are very thin and we could hear every little noise from the other rooms and the hallway. There was also noise from the street throughout the night. The wifi was not working.

Very good price in a good location
There is no sign at the entrance of the building and no information on how to do the check-in. No reception, we took the key from the cleaning lady.

The room was big and there was AC which is a must in sicily! the location was perfect right in the centre with loads of bars and restaurants. The bed sheets were clean and towels too, there was also a little balcony that you can use to ventilate or dry your clothes.
They can add a fridge in the room with some water and drinks potentially. Also, I think the property needs to have a deep clean as the draws in the toilet were dusty and found hair in it.

5.0
The location of the accomodation is really great, easily approachable and in walking distance from the centre of Catania. The building is nice and clean, freshly renovated.
We had a private bathroom which is a plus.
The contact person was always quick to reply to our questions.
Unfortunately, there were numerous things that we did not like. We stayed at quite a few places in Sicily therefore we had comparison. When we arrived there were no glasses, or a cold water offered, that was the usual gesture at every other place we stayed at.
We booked a room with 3 beds (3 adults), but one of the beds was a truckle bed, resembling the ones in the military. Not very comfortable.
In our room there was a wardrobe, but there were 2-3 thick blankets thrown in there and only two hangers were inside, so basically it was useless as there was no place to put our clothes. My mum refolded the blankets and put them on the top shelf for us to have same space.
There was mold on the wall.
In the bathroom the shower cabin was on the edge of disintegration and everything was calcareous.
The kitchen is tiny and poorly equipped.
The internet signal is very weak for a day we thought there is no internet at all as our phones could not connect to it. Turned out that it is not strong enough to be used in our room, so every time we had to stand in the corridor to use it.
A lady comes every day to clean, but the objects in the hall our dusty. She is the one we met when we arrived. I tried to communicate with her in italian, as it worked very well in every other place we stayed at. She was not really open to answering our questions, she did not even show us the kitchen, wifi etc.

The location was really good, you could walk to the city center, the room was clean. Good comunication with the host via whats app
The building was so old and looked like abbandoned. There was no fridge inside the room, only one in the kittchen area for all the residents

It was central. Easy to check in. Self check-in option is great. Soap and shampoo was nice. Room and bathroom was clean.
There was no internet connection in the room or in the terrace. There wasn't any refrigerator to put our stuff in.
