I stayed almost 4 weeks. I was 3 days late due to a snow storm in Athens, Greece. Azzurra was waiting for me early on the day I finally arrived to let me in, she probably missed some work to do so. At the end she offered me an extra night to make up for my lost time, but I was ready to go to Siracusa. I appreciated it.
I enjoyed my stay at the appartenent. Very clean apartment. Great location in a short walk to the central historic area. the bed was comfortable. The terrace was a great place to have my morning coffee and relax in the afternoon, many potted plants. She was full of useful local tips that went well beyond any other Airbnb hosts I have had. I didn't even have to ask, she would just send me messages about places I should check out. I also enjoyed chatting with her, she is very nice. Great Chi Pizzeria just 15meters from the door, I ate there too often. 5min walk to Soundcheck Cafe for the best morning cappuccio and run by a nice couple, also if they have a live music night it is worth going (tell them TJ/Mr. Cappuccio sent you). 10min walk from the airport bus stop, 20min to train/etna public bus. Wi-Fi was fast enough for streaming. Upload speeds were a little slow for backing up high resolution photos, video calls worked fine. I recommend staying, I would stay again. Plenty of coffee, biscuits, cooking basics were provided and a liter of orange juice. extra bedding and pillows.
Things to note: while I was there Catania City kept shutting off the water for maintenance, on those days it was best to take early or late showers for better water pressure. Hopefully that was just a issue for my time there. Great hot water.
The street is a bit noisy in the day time but quiet at night. Azzurra provided me with a bunch of ear plugs for sleeping, enough to replace when they got worn our. I only really needed them for mornings and mid day naps.
That's everything I can think of, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Grazie Azzurra, Ciao!
