First, I appreciated that the host was able to meet me at the bus station, and show me around in the apartment upon arrival, although there is also a "self check-in" available by the use of a key-safe. As I enjoy great design, the experience was not a surprise; it is as beautiful and practical as it looks in the ad. Kitchen, WiFi, shower all worked good, and I also appreciated the small "surprises" waiting me, in terms of cookies and sweets to give a first taste of Catania. The host was fast to respond during the stay, which can be important especially if a critical emergency appear, and you do not have a hotel reception to walk to, being a stranger that do not talk the local language. I highly recommend any to stay at this apartment to explore Catania and its surroundings.
