We don't recommand this place. We booked 5 nights and stayed only 4 nights at this apartment at the end.

The first night, Valeria welcomed us in a place that wasn't looking like the picture at all, and that smelled cigarette very bad. We complained about this and she only moved us to another place the next morning.

Then when we decided to change our plans : cancel one night at Valeria's apartment, to leave catania earlier than planned. From there, things started to get very complicated : it was 3 days before the 24 hours limit put on the air bnb condition, and yet, Valeria who didn't put any other personnal condition about how to cancel a night wouldn't accept our request.
Of course, we already paid for the five nights, and she said that air bnb was taking some of her money if we were cancelling one night. Her other excuse was that nobody could have booked this night since it was only 3 days before. Once again, she didn't put anything on the website about what were her cancelling condition.

We ended up negotiating at 22h30, with one of her friends: their conditions were : "you pay half a night since you cancel the last night in the middle of your stay, and if you don't , then we don't cancel the night and you pay the total."
during this conversation we found out that the amount air bnb was taking from her, was only the 5 euros of the night reservation, which was the comission air bnb is taking in any case when someone book a night on the air bnb website... So, it never was her money, it actually was air bnb's. We tried to explain to the guy, that they didn't put any other cancelling condition, and that this money was never valeria's but it didn't change anything.

We had to pay half a night in cash, so he would cancel the last night we booked. We have no trace of anything and they didn't live us any other choice.

Valeria doesn't understand how air bnb is working and was dishonnest about this since she didn't put anything on the website before facing the situation. She didn't even had the honnesty to come in person to deal with us, and this way we really think she's not a realiable person.

what happened was really unexpected and it ruinned our last days of vacation in catania.
