I have given this place 5 stars as the price was very reasonable, the apartment was a nice space and well prepared by the hosts, with whom communication was quick, easy, polite and helpful. Thanks also to them for letting me drop my bags early. There are some minor things I'd suggest are replaced or updated - a couple of electric point extension cords were old, damaged and did not work well for instance. There was also a big dent in the bathroom door, but this was just cosmetic. Everything else was good. The wifi worked well. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and cooking implements. Bathroom and upstairs bed area both fine. The area is quite run down, even by Catania's rough and ready standards, but seemed safe enough and is well positioned, a short walk to the old town, the train station and a stop for the airport bus. For the price, a good stay, recommended for anyone who does not mind if they are not staying in a stylish area.
