The inside was as advertised and nice, it was centrally located but in a noisy area. The issue we had was the hosts communication. Flat was advertised as self check in and this is why we booked it, but on the day of arrival the host starting messaging and calling us asking exact arrival time (even though we had been told there was also a manned reception open until 8 PM and we were due to arrive around 6-6.30 PM) but when we got there the reception was closed and the host was not picking up his phone and so we were made to wait with luggage on the street for around 20 minutes. When the host finally did come he was incredibly rude and said “well I came before 6.30 so what’s the problem.” Overall we were shocked with his communication and would not recommend if you’re looking for a friendly welcome to Catania!
