Great hospitality, comfort and location is how I will describe this BNB. Rob and Christina made us feel absolutely at home and their hospitality (and Breakfast) was definitely missed after we moved off from their place. The apartment was beautifully and functionally furnished to reflect their colourful personalities. The bedrooms were clean and spacious; they also had two very well equipped and maintained bathrooms. Their beddings were clean and comfortable (sheets were great), which led to a great night’s sleep every night. The Location was very ideal and conveniently located with many great restaurants nearby ( Rob gave us a very comprehensive map and a list of restaurants and he even made a reservation in advance for us on New year’s eve) and the town was just 10 mins walk away. You could walk to the fish market (highlight of Catania in my opinion) in five minutes. We welcomed the New Year with the other great guests at the apartment, watching the fireworks all around us.
We had an incident just before we checked in, someone tried to open our car door while we were inside to grab our bag but the door was locked and that guy rode away with his accomplice. We were shaken, but Rob was comforting and reassuring. Next few days we felt completely safe and confident on the streets. The neighbours on the streets were also friendly and our father often went down to a coffee shop to have coffee in the wee hours with the locals.
Christina's breakfast was always sumptuous and hearty, it’s a great feeling to wake up to a warm table filled with food and hot coffee, and it was like home. We were very impressed with their commitment to make their guests’ stay a perfect one. We definitely highly recommend this place to stay in Catania.
A big thank you to both Rob and Christina for a memorable stay.
