I spent 5 days on my birthday week with my girlfriends here. This place is so beautifully designed, very chic and warm and felt like home away from home, which I was very much looking for.
From my arrival at the airport, Lorenzo was very helpful and clear with the instructions of where to get the bus, cost, stop to get off and reach the apartment.
When I arrived at the apartment, Concita the co-host was we waiting for me to show me around the apartment, give me the key set, show me the notebook with all the instructions for the TV, WiFi, emergency contacts, keys to use and so on. She was very warm and kind.
The apartment is 5 mins walk from the main plaza and you can find so much to do, eat, drink and just be and watch people go by.
The apartment had everything and it has a lovely garden where I enjoyed with my friends for morning coffees.
The bedrooms were massive and the beds very comfortable and there are double windows so outside noise is not disturbing.
This is a great place for families, solo, friends get together and just to be able to enjoy some time in a home away from home.
The second morning around 7am we heard someone trying to open the door and then go to the neighbour, seemed odd but we thought may be a caretaker, I messaged Lorenzo and he instantly investigated and saw that the two men were trying to find their own Airbnb which was the floor upstairs. Just outside the apartment door there is a camera which helps with any intrusion and just keeps an eye on the entrance to the apartment. Lorenzo was very quick and helpful.
The other two neighbours were lovely and warm.
I had a wonderful time in this apartment and really enjoyed Catania, Ortigia, Notto, Saracusa (must sees).
Lorenzo has a section in the entrance where you can find guidebooks, recommendations for tours, and eating.
I thoroughly recommend this place and if you want to checkout Catania.
Thankyou Lorenzo and Concita for your warm hospitality and Lorenzo for being a great communicator and answering so swiftly to any need.
Best,
Saranda
