The owners are cool but this room is too noisy to rent out, for me. They are aware of the problem and I hope they will take action to fully cement the window towards the noisy street which also takes away privacy since it’s connected to a communal balcony. The other window/ balcony in the room is amazing with a full view of Mt Etna and a beautiful church. When I booked it was not really clear to me that this is basically a hostel with 3 rooms and that all guests - potentially 6 in total- share one bathroom with one shower and one toilet in it. When I was there, we were only staying with 3 persons and it was absolutely fine. If you like to meet other people from around the world this setup may be good for you. I came to Catania to stay for a month and immerse myself in Italian language. For that it was not ideal as at the time there were no Italians staying. Takoma and Massimo were very graceful in finding a solution for me. The other two rooms with Etna view are awesome.
