Our time in Catania was basically alright. Unfortunately the appartment wasn't ready when we arrived, although our host told us, that we can check in, whenever we want (we arrived around noon). Cooking was kinda difficult, because the kitchen was equipped quite spartanic (e.g. there were no lids for the pots) . But it was okay. Our host was very friendly and we booked a tour to Etna with him. The wheather was bad but still, we had a good time. When it was raining heavily in Catania, there was a little water damage in the bathroom with rain dripping down from the ceiling, but when we contacted our host about that, he didn't answer. We loved sitting on the balkony in the evening and supermarkets are very close-by.
