It is a bit too dark inside the apartment, and you can notice the smell characteristic for old buildings. Also, it's a problem with the segregation of garbage.

The apartment is very close via Etna the main street and next to the beautiful Bellini Park. The owner is very kind and sent me a lot of useful informations. The bed is big and comfortable . Good WiFi, clean.

Mosquitoes kept me awake the 1st night. Although the bathroom was a good size, the shower cubicle was very small.

A well equipped apartment and Marco had lots of good restaurant and cafe tips.

The property is relatively shabby for the price. For example, I stayed in the middle of the Palermo in the great, bigger apartment that had Microwave, espresso machine, and was stocked with a lot of useful things for the similar price. Also, the apartment is in the basement with no balconies or even windows. So, it feels cold and wet in it most of the time, despite running heater. I tried to watch TV but the signal was pretty bad, although TV was not important. I didn't care as long as Internet was running smoothly. I suggest the owners will prepare the package for tourists with the information about how to connect to WiFi (I had to look for it on the modem literally hanging up in the corridor outside the apartment) and with the information about local activities, etc.

Everything was working fine during my stay. There were no problems with the heater/Air Conditioner or WiFi.

The communication with Marco, before and during the stay was excellent. Marco also helped us with having to take my Wife to the A&E department in nearby Garibaldi General Hospital, which was very much appreciated. We were allowed into the property early to drop off bags so we could take the car back to Catania airport. The property is in an excellent location, being 5 minutes walk to the Alibus airport transfer (just 15-20 minutes ride to the airport) and 15/20 minutes walk to the Greco-Roman theatre, Piazza Duomo, and Fish Market. There are some excellent cafes, restaurant options 5-10 minutes walk away located around Bellini Gardens. The apartment has immense character being in a period building. It is also light, airy and has the added bonus of a washing machine. There are a lot of mosquitos in the area, probably due to the proximity of Bellini gardens. There were Mosquito deterrent devices available, but I would definitely bring your own known deterrent to help with the issue. I would thoroughly recommend the apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Catania.

The room could be cleaner, a clean painting would do. It was not dirty, it seems to be cleaned regularly, but there was wear and tear from use. Nevertheless, very good value for money.

They are kind and helpful in everything. We were in contact the whole time, getting in and leaving the room went smoothly. Location is excelent.

Air conditioning has a noise above the acceptable resting limit, especially at night

Marco waited for us to give us the keys, even though the plane was 90 minutes late (we arrived at the apartment after midnight). He helped us with information to get from the airport to the apartment.

The window in a ground level apartment was difficult (and dangerous) to close. The electricity kept being unstable and turned off several times for the entire house, but this problem was being solved by electrician while we were leaving. There were just a little toilet paper, soap and dishwashing detergent.

Quite and cozy place, complete colection of dishes (including teflon pan). The room temperature was well-adjustable by a powerfull AC. Staff speaks English (exceptional for Sicily). Excelent location!

Very dark and depressed place, in a big room was no window so it was stinky, gloomily and stuffy. There were no basic equipment in the kitchen (very old pots and no kettle), uncomfotable bed.

Location and nice owner.

The place was full of mosquitoes! I would kill 3-4 before going to bed every night and there were still too many. The ceiling is very high and the windows are small and also out of reach. I think there was a net, but apparently it did not work properly. Because of the small windows high up, there was not enough light and the air was stale. I wonder why the room felt as if it were underground, keeping in mind that it was on the first floor. If I had known, I would not have booked it. In addition, the facilities are a bit shabby, but that is not the main problem.

The location is central and there was good communication with the owner. The wi-fi also worked well. The studio had all necessary facilities.

I had the most wonderful experience staying at this apartment in Carania. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly host, Marco, who made us feel right at home. The apartment itself is situated in historical building, it was clean and exuded a cozy atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail in ensuring that everything we needed for a comfortable stay was readily available. From the minor kitchen and household items to the thoughtful amenities, we lacked nothing during our time there. The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect. Situated just a stone's throw away from the beautiful center of Carania, we were able to explore the main piazza within a leisurely 5-10 minute walk. Additionally, the apartment's proximity to an incredible garden right across. Marco proved to be an invaluable resource during our visit. He not only assisted us with the accommodation arrangements but also provided us with advice on parking, recommended restaurants, and must-visit attractions in the area. It was reassuring to know that any inquiry or concern we had was promptly addressed, making our vacation all the more pleasant and smooth. If you're looking to immerse yourself in the historical center of Carania, I strongly recommend this apartment. It exceeded all our expectations and played a significant role in making our vacation truly memorable. Thank you, Marco, for your warm hospitality and for providing us with such a delightful place to call home during our stay.
