Great apartment, clean and well equiped. Great coffee left in the kitchen drawer to make yourself an espresso or two and a lot of ice in the fridge really did the trick for first impression ;). Two A/C machines are really great for this loft, without it will be too hot! If you are in Catania in the hot summer it's better to take this place than the other top floor apartments because here climatization works very well.
Gaetano was very helpful, helped us with booking great luxury transfer from the airport. We really suggest taking this option because driver was so nice, made us feel great and gave us great advice on restaurants which we used all and they was 100% accurrate. Even we didn't meet Gaetano in person we felt taken care of. Communication by Airbnb messages was enough to cover all the issues.
Location is great, very near main Catherdral square, 5-10 mins by foot, if you walk slowly. Castle and Roman theatre are even closer. Great spot also for going to the beach: Borsellino station is next to the Cathedral, and bus "D plaia" will take you there for 1 euro per person. If I have to book again for Catania I would definitely choose this one :).
Only think that we didn't like was not very well maintained yard, but luckily no bad smell. On the other hand we found almost everywhere in Catania is not very clean so it's actually more of city's responsibility I guess...
One more: you have to take the stairs to 2nd-3rd floor to get into the apartment, so if you have any trouble walking or any disabilities you should probably reconsider it. Anyway, it was almost perfect!
Thank you Gaetano and wish you as many good guests as possible. Hope to come back soon!!!
