The place is big and looks like the pictures! It was cleanish (a bit dusty/dirty under the furniture), but we found between 1 and 3 big (5-8 cm) cockroaches every day we were there, we decided to leave early because we found a few of them hiding in the bedrooms. Apparently it's common to have them in Catania, but the neighborhood is dirty and the apartment close to the trash bins, I guess warmth and not perfect cleanliness of the building made them especially active during our stay. The host has very reactive but does not speak English which made communication sometimes a little bit tedious.
