I am in Catania for the fourth time and "Made in Sicily (Holiday Home)" is clearly the best accommodation in this price category so far. The accommodation is ideal for two people who like to explore the city on foot and prefer living among locals to living in a hotel.
Location:
The accommodation is located near Porta Garibaldi, which is a good strategic location for exploring the city. In the immediate vicinity there are pizzerias, shops, butchers, street fast food, everything a person needs during urban travel. About 15 minutes on foot is the famous fish market and about 30 minutes on foot is the famous Playa di Catania.
The street is safe, there are decent people who helped us a lot in one minor accident, for which we are very grateful.
Accommodation:
The accommodation has two floors, on the ground floor there is a fully equipped kitchen and hall, on the upper floor there is a spacious living room, a large bathroom and a terrace. The equipment of the apartment is completely new and of a higher quality, from the cutting board, to the oven, to the bed, to the shower, which is really spacious and has various functions from rain to massage jets.
The whole apartment was cozy, clean and thoroughly cleaned, the hosts simply took care.
Communication:
Check-in went without any problems, the hosts provided all the necessary information, throughout the stay they were interested in whether everything was fine and if we were missing anything, they answered all messages immediately, you could feel the sincerity of their care. As our flight out of Catania was early Sunday morning and we didn't want to rely on getting a taxi at that time, Jimmy and Mary picked us up in the morning in their own car and drove us to the airport, which was very helpful for which we are really grateful to them.
Summary:
Overall, I rate the accommodation, the location and the hosts very positively, we were really satisfied. I can only recommend the accommodation and if I come back to Catania, I will definitely stay with Jimmy and Mary again.
