The apartment was as listed on the website. When we arrived at the building we had no prior instructions about how to get hold of our host, though we were told Laura would be waiting for us. Fortunately, the neighbors were friendly and called Laura for us (our phones don't work internationally without wifi). We did not meet Laura, but her son Roberto came to let us in and was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was in the back courtyard which made it very separate from the activity of the Piazza. We were able to close the windows to keep the sound out. The curtains at the doorway, however, did not block the very bright light that was on in the courtyard all night long. Some dark curtains would be useful so that it doesn't feel like 24 hours of daytime! The location was great, we walked all over Catania and got to see all the sights without exhaustion. At the end of our stay, check out time was 11:00 but the cleaning person arrived at 10:15 and it was awkward. Make sure to confirm your check out time so you aren't walked-in on like I was! Again, it's an excellent place for the price, as long as you can go with the flow. Be sure to eat at Me Cumpari Turridu, it's magical!
