Overall a great experience! The host is amazing! He met us at the apartment, showed us around and made sure we knew everything we needed to about the apartment and the area. He left treats and puzzles/toys for our children, which they loved.
The apartment has an extremely convenient location to the train station, bus stops, and restaurants. The beds are very comfortable, the apartment was very clean... and the ceilings are gorgeous!
As previous reviews have mentioned, the neighborhood is a little “gritty”, but it is not unsafe. There is street noise at night, but that is to be expected when staying in the city.
If we return to Catania, we would stay here again.
