I had three nights Casa Celeste in Catania. It was a quiet apartment that clearly shows how much its owners want to make it comfortable and welcoming for guests—two beers in the fridge, a small box of snacks and breakfast things on the table, and very nice sheets and towels. The sleeping area is great. There was a problem with the water supply (elsewhere in the building, but affecting my place) on my second day, but Cecilia & Daniele did an amazing job of keeping in contact with me about progress and notifying me when it was repaired just a few hours later. There was considerable litter outside the front door, and trash forty paces up the street that may be off-putting to some (the garbage man seemed to come by the last day of my stay), but the neighborhood felt quite safe, and the feeling inside Casa Celeste is great.
