Unfortunately very disappointing spending your holidays inside a construction site without knowing it. We woke up every morning way too early by power drills and hammers. The “view” from the balcony, which really is more of a corridor to the front door, is basically watching construction workers and their vans. Not really a wine on the balcony situation. I believe the buildings needs work done, but you should let people know in advance, even serious landlords offer temporarily lower rents for these periods. Parking is not guaranteed inside, depends on the free spots, with construction going on one to two were already occupied by workers. The apartment itself is nicely furnished with very nice floors but quite dark inside, as the only windows are the one inside the bathroom and the right on the front door. Ac is good for the intense climate. The location is, on the bright side, nice to explore the center of Catania. All in all not a great experience and definitely not worth its money.
