Domenico is a very attentive and helpful host; the communication was absolutely great. We have not met him personally, as he was not in Catania at the moment, but we kept in touch all the time. Upon our arrival we were met by Domenico's neighbour, Serena, who was very kind and nice even if we appeared quite late from the airport. She was also very helpful during our stay.
We found the apartment exactly how it looks on the photos, everything was clean and well arranged. Domenico left for us some water, juice, pasta, tuna, olives, that was very pleasant to find.
The apartment is located in a very silent neighbourhood, there is a grocery, super market, several nice cafeterias nearby. It is far from the city centre though, approx. 35 min of walk, 5-7 min to the metro.
We were well aware that not all the blocks/houses have central heating in Sicily as well as in other destinations in the South Europe (e.g. in Malaga). But on the Airbnb website in the description of Domenico’s apartment heating system was indicated as available. However, when we arrived, it was + 15 in the apartment. The ac did not help much as the apartment apparently was empty for a while. We had to sleep with our sweaters and scarfs on. In addition, after using the ac the electricity disappeared. We solved it thanks to Domenico’s neighbour. Still the experience was far from successful.
