Overall, the whole experience was alright! The location is great since it's downtown in Catania. Close to Via Etna and the fish market where most people would go out in the night for food and drinks.
As far as the apartment, there are little touches that makes it special (e.g., the lighting, beautiful bathroom, the stony parts that have been left on purpose). There are no balconies since the apartment is located at the ground floor. Parking on the street is only allowed from 20:00-08:00, so I am not sure if the characterization free parking is completely correct. Another thing that Ι noticed was the sense of humidity while entering the apartment. That was every time you opened the entry door and the sense wouldn’t go away until you opened the air-condition. However, the most important thing that should be dealt as soon as possible is the bad smell in the bathroom. It smells like sewage or cesspit and it’s a shame since the bathroom is very beautiful. One simple solution is to install incense sticks or reed diffusers, electric diffusers etc. They all cost in the range of 3-10 euros.
As far as the host, there are a few and simple things that would make the staying much more pleasant. The street is very busy and there is a lot noise both from the people and vehicles. It would be wise to provide a set of earplugs just for the first night. The cost is only 0,50 euros. The same stands for the toilet paper as well; only one unit was provided, even though the host is not obliged to provide more. Once again, the cost is less than 0,50 euros per unit. The same stands for the smell in the bathroom. A few extra euros to be spent in certain things and it would make the staying experience much better.
