Noisy as to be expected considering the location. We enjoyed it but it may be not suitable if with young kids

Excellent location if you want to be in the middle. Diana the host was very accommodating and helpful. The rooms are very spacious and it’s a great base to explore Catania

It is right above a busy night spot with no soundproofing at all, which some people may not like.

Very central location, spacious and clean. Heated in the winter. Host was very kind and helpful.

We had a very nice experience during our stay in Catania. The accommodation was very good, with very spacious and well appointed rooms offering all the comforts we needed. The cleanliness was very good. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, a very spacious living room/dining room, large balconies to sip coffee in the morning and enjoy local life. The apartment is in the heart of the old town near restaurants that are very lively in the evening, with quick access to main tourist attractions and Catania's traditional fish market. I highly recommend this accommodation for the authentic local food available all day long. Our host has answered promptly, was always available to help us with anything we needed and gave us useful tips about the city.

All was great.

Great location, middle of the party life and street food/restaurants in town(not for the people that want a quiet place). Very clean and interesting apartment, WiFi was good. Special thanks to the hostess for being so friendly and helpful, arranging our taxi for the final day.

Everything was good. The apartment was very nice, spacious, and clean. Surrounded by many good restaurants and just a few minutes from the center.

We traveled with children for the first time and the accommodation was perfect for us. Large apartment with all equipment (including juicer :-). Very nice and helpful owners Diana and Mario. The accommodation is close to the market, it is ideal for buying breakfast (if you have a juicer :-) The market is noisy, but we took that into account when booking. Thanks Diana and Mario, it was perfect.

The location is perfect, only 1 minute from the city center. There are many good restaurants around the accomodation. From the central bus station or train station you can travel easy to other interesting locations (Edna, Taormina, etc.).

It was quite noisy at night, but I guess this is Catania centre :) Breakfast not a lot, but ok.

Complimentary bottle of vine - very good. Central location above the market.

Noisy area. The party outside ends 1 am, but market activities start pretty early, like 5-6 am. The sound insulation was good, but you still can heard some street noise.

Very nice apartment in the very heart of Catania. The apartment had one bedroom and living room. Living room had separate open floor with stairs and one extra bed there. In bedroom there was queen bed and one small folding bed. We were family with two children and it worked well for us. Host was very helpful and provided airport transfer. There was enough food in refrigerator (prosciutto and cheese, juice, yogurt, jam etc). The apartment is located next to fish market area. The main market opening is about 50 m from apartment. Main city square is about 150 m. So the location is central. I do not recommend to have car there. Narrow streets and lack of parking spaces. Apartment had gas stove and fully equipped kitchen, with Rome brand capsule coffee machine. As there is market area outside, it is excellent place for someone who likes cooking - grab some fresh vegetables, fish or meat outside and here you go. The area is noisy. Next to apartment there is small square with restaurant which will turn into party area during night. We were there on Monday and Tuesday evenings - both evenings there was pretty loud music and lot of people having party there. So the place is not for someone looking very quiet area.

Great host and top notch apartment. Highly recommended!

Two comfortable rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, friendly person who gave us keys. Very good location. The only reason I have not given the highest score was the noise from restaurants around at night that were still audible despite closed windows.

Having no water and being unable to drink, shower, toilet, or wash our hands. Then, the host not doing anything to resolve this or make it more comfortable.

A lovely, well presented apartment. The host (Diana) has added some nice touches for guests such as lollies and a cold bottle of water on arrival. The washing machine was really good, and Diana left detergent, which is the first time for this in our 7 weeks of travel. The location is amazing...as long as you don't mind loud noise most of the day and night. This didn't bother us, but if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. On our final night of what had been a nice stay, we lost all water. Both hot and cold. This meant no showers, no toilet, no washing our hands, and no drinking water. This is not liveable or satisfactory in an apartment we'd paid for. We contacted the host, and we believe her handling of this issue was poor. Unfortunately, this impacted our stay. We don't blame Diana for the loss of water. However, neither she nor anyone else came to check on it at the property. We told her we had no water, and she did not offer to provide any or come to any other solution. She basically said it was reported to the authorities, and there was nothing she could do. It was not her responsibility. At the least, she should have brought us water and checked the property. I'm just thankful it was only 1 night we had to deal with this as we checked out the following morning. This is a lovely property, and if nothing goes wrong, it is a lovely place to stay. However, if there are any issues, I don't think Diana is the best at resolving them.

we didn’t like the fact that it was advertised to have three separate beds and there were only two. Also it was very noisy, ad it was situated in the middle of the markets and fish restaurants. The noise went on well into the evening and there was the packing up noise of the restaurants below, so sometimes the noise didn’t finish until 2.00am .

the apartment was spacious and central to all sites and restaurants.
