The experience as a whole was awesome. The location is just down the street and around the corner from the bigger downtown Catania streets. The apartment is indeed very small, it really only fits one person in my opinion, but maybe two as a couple. Marco was a wonderful host, even though I booked super last minute (night before). Everything went smoothly, I would recommend it along with a warning about the ceiling height (pretty low, didn't bother me but I'm only 5ft 4) and the compact nature of the space.
