The apartment is amazing and great value for money! Everything you need for a long or short stay, and great location with a 10 minute walk to the city center.
The only real issue I had during my stay (3 weeks) was it was sometimes a bit difficult communicating between the host and her friend who was there to help during the stay since the host wasn’t in Catania. I needed my mother to send me an important package (medication), so asked Pina’s friend for instructions how to send this, and she told me, however didn’t tell me I needed to add my phone number until after the parcel was already sent, therefore resulting in me never receiving my parcel, and I also asked her to check the letterbox since she had the key which took 2 days, which I thought was long considering she is a neighbour of the flat, and the contents of the parcel was obviously important.
Also to note we believed the courtyard would be private but we were woken up a few mornings by people right outside our door.
Apart from this the apartment is great and everything you’d need for a stay in Catania.
