Santo’s flat is as described: clean, well-equipped, with a nice view from the balcony over Catania’s roofs and “duomos”. Santo welcomed us very well, was accommodating with check out time / leaving the luggage, was very responsive and helpful. The flat is less than 2min walk from the main commercial streets / historical town. There were however two negative points in our view: 1) the appearance of the building from the outside (probably 1970’s, not very charming unfortunately), though the flat in itself was all good and was modern/well-maintained. 2) the high proximity with a poor, dirty and dodgy neighborhood. Santo tried to reassured us about this point, but as two young girls who walked from the train station through this neighborhood, we felt constantly stared at and unsafe. Unfortunately, this issue with the location dominates our overall feeling. We had already stayed in Catania before and there are some neighborhoods that we can tell are safer, especially for girls.
