The apartment was great overall and looked exactly like the photos. It was the perfect place to stay in Catania for a weekend and I highly recommend it. There were 2 issues however. One – we were accused of damaging the glass stovetop after check-out, which we knew wasn’t possible because we never prepared any food in the apartment. Although I appreciate that the host apologized after a previous guest professed to the damage, it would be impossible for us to prove otherwise and that left me a little uneasy. Two- there was a late check-in fee of 15 euros that we were not informed about until the day before our arrival even though the first message I sent mentioned our arrival time at the airport. This fee also wasn’t listed when paying with my debit card at check-out and if I wanted to cancel the booking it would’ve been past the moderate cancellation period of 7 days before arrival. In any case, the apartment was beautiful and would really be great for longer stays in Catania. With a short 20-minute walk, you can find yourself on the main shopping street or in the main piazza.
