We stayed at Santi's place twice for a total of 14 days. He left us welcoming treats and also water, beer, jam, coffee pods, even cereal, etc. for our breakfast the next few mornings. The kitchen pots and pans were all new and the kitchen is a good size for a longer stay. The bed was really comfortable. We had an issue with the bathroom heater and within minutes of reporting it, it was replaced. Santi's communication is outstanding - he answers immediately. He helped arrange a taxi to the airport on the morning of our departure and even put on his alarm at 5 am to make sure the cab came! The washing machine came in handy and I was able to dry our clothes in the garden of the property. The apartment is less than 10 minutes walk to Piazza Borsellino (for the bus) and about 15 minutes to the train station by foot. We were able to walk everywhere in the city from the apartment. Definitely recommend this apartment for a stay in Catania.
