This apartment was a nice place for the price. Emanuele and the woman who helped check us in (I cannot remember her name) were lovely to work with. She was very attentive and excited to tell us of good places to visit in Catania (restaurant recommendations, etc.). They were very accommodating when we asked for an earlier check-in. We didn’t have kitchen towels, paper towels, or a sponge to use; however, I genuinely believe that was due to their trying to quickly accommodate our request for an earlier check-in. The woman I mentioned earlier was just finishing cleaning when we got there, and again, I am very grateful for their accommodating our request. So, I wouldn’t want this to be a negative mark against this place. It’s location is in the heart of a very festive place in Catania, and just five minutes from the city center. It’s right next to the Urisino Castle. So, this is a major bonus.
