Lety was a wonderful and helpful host and was a great communicator. The apartment was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed including a washing machine. The lively location is close to restaurants, markets and the Duomo. Stairs were easy and the noise minimal with windows closed. We could not have picked a better place.

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The host was exceptionally kind, responsive, and made everything feel effortless from start to finish. Access to the apartment was very easy and convenient, which made arrival and departure completely stress-free. The location is perfect—right in the center, with everything you need just a short walk away. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, with a stylish and well-thought-out interior that made it feel both comfortable and special. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a welcoming space. Overall, a fantastic experience—I would definitely stay here again!

Beautifully decorated apartment with a caring host

The apartment was beautifully decorated, clean, and well-equipped, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I really appreciated the thoughtful touch of having plenty of brochures and guides about Catania and Sicily, they were very helpful for planning my visit. The self check-in and check-out processes were very smooth and convenient. Letizia, the host, was extremely caring and stayed in contact before and throughout my stay, which made everything even easier and more enjoyable. The location was convenient, and the apartment matched the photos and description perfectly.

Fantastic

The apartment was really lovely with absolutely everything you could want. There were some nice touches from the host with lovely toiletries in the bathroom, a welcoming bottle of wine, sweets and water, juice and a snack in the fridge. We also got a complimentary voucher for breakfast for our first day. This was most welcome as we did not have to look around and started our day well. We got some really good information for places to eat and for things to do in the area. The area itself was excellent as we were close to public transport (5 minutes to the bus for the airport) and excellent restaurants.
