If you are thinking of staying here and air conditioning is important to you, please note that the air conditioner is in the main living area of the apartment and NOT in the room. I stayed here in the middle of August, and it got pretty warm in the room, with little I could do about it. I had to leave the door open to get some of that air conditioned air into the room, which diminished my sense of privacy almost as much as the fact that there is no lock on the door to the room.
Otherwise, the stay was quite good Orazio's balcony is a fantastic place for remote working, or just relaxing.
The location is good, although it's about a 30 minute walk to the main downtown area where everyone gathers. I found myself taking Lime scooters a lot, which I don't do often, but Ubers in Catania don't arrive quickly and scooters are everywhere.
Orazio is a considerate host and makes you feel welcome. He is very helpful of you have a situation, as I did when trying to get from his place to the train station and he helped me call a taxi. Once again, do NOT rely on Uber in Catania. Thanks to Orazio speaking Italian on the phone to call a taxi, I was able to make my train. Thank you again!
