We had an ok stay at Giuseppe's place in Catania but had a couple issues.
It's a great location very close to the historic center of Catania. And there is plenty of space in the three bedrooms. The stairs were easy to manage (a short rise at the entrance and a single flight to the penthouse after the elevator ride). There is a really nice roof-top terrace for the apartment.
Initially, the AC while working great, was leaking badly in one of the rooms. We did get a quick response after messaging and guidance on how to avoid the dripping. This could have easily been addressed by a more thorough check-in or house manual. We had an issue with the fridge not running but that seemed to be just a loose plug or bad plug adapter.
Parking is definitely NOT on premise as the listing states and again the check-in person did not adequately describe how to safely park on the street (about a block away) so we ended up with a parking ticket after the first night. We got better instruction to use the EasyPark app on the second night and avoided another ticket.
Seemed like a bunch of deferred maintenance in the place including missing toilet flush buttons in the master bath and when you flushed it would get stuck in the open position; plus a leaky bathroom faucet and a pretty omnipresent smell of sewer gas.
Every other AirBnB in Italy we stayed in included at minimum cold water in the fridge and often additional welcome gift. Nothing at this stay.
We would have appreciated a Mokapot in the kitchen as we prefer to make our morning coffee in the AirBnB. Otherwise the kitchen was well outfitted. We used the clothes washer which worked great!
We enjoy the adventure and variety of AirBnBs and especially like the great locations. This one is a few small improvements from a much better rating.
