Clea, tidy, comfortable little flat in the middle of the city. Its location is excellent. There is a car park 3 min walk away if you are driving.
I recommend highly.
Important to note that this is an apartment without a reception, so you need to make contact with the host to get a code to check in. The apartment is nice and comfy, not far from the old city.
This place is cute and pretty cool. You do have to contact the owner via WhatsApp to get everything situated. It’s near a beautiful cathedral and plaza area. It had a cool spot right below for coffee and drinks! The area is right around the block from everything and Roman ruins
Wonderful space and location. Easy access and good communication. The reason I can’t give it a 5 is because the internet and TV didn’t work. Otherwise it’s a great place.
This stay in Catania was very clean and could walk to the main square. We were only here one night. But amazing stay.

Nice accommodation in a good central location. The house is a bit older, which you can unfortunately see a bit, but I can still absolutely recommend it. Toti is super nice and very accommodating.
The suite was very modern and comfortable. Loved the coffee shop beside the building. All major attractions and shopping were within walking distance which was a real bonus. I would stay here again.

We stayed for only one night. The room is clean and nice. The location is Great, 5-10 min to restaurants and shows.
However, the bed was very uncomfortable and noisy. It needs to be changed.
Overall we were happy with our stay. The location is central a short walk to all the main attractions in the old city. The apartment was facing the street & university so there was some street noise but a normal amount. Breakfast is not included but just next door is a nice bar where they make lovely coffees, have delicious pastries & panini but you can hear them start making coffees at 7am! We found the bathroom small and there was no place to hand wet towels. Missing hooks. The kitchen didn't seem very well equipped if you plan of cooking it might be difficult to do anything that isn't too basic.
Regarding the Eco-Friendly question - there was no info on what what could possibly be recycled or composted.
As we were there for the first time we took the location under consideration and the location at this stay was very convenient because it was not too far from central Catania. The view was absolutely beautiful as well.
Great location and price. Walking distance to most of the city landmarks and tours. Rooms are a fair size but washroom is a bit small. Friendly staff were always in contact and made sure our stay was good!

Convenient accommodation with contractless check-in. The location is on the outside of the main centre but it's still very close, 10 minutes walk. Opposite a lovely church/tower and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Staff always responded to our questions on the expedia messages too so no issues.

A functional and clean apartment in a shady but centrally located area. It was fine for one night, but do not expect much luxury, it is rather basic.

This property is a fair walk from the main area of Catania. The host was friendly. If you are need to catch public transport to and from destinations I would not recommend staying in this area.
We arrived very late but that didn’t matter as we had the code to get in. Eventually found out that the code and twist the knob to get the keys. The apartment was large and spacious. Bedroom was nice though the road outside is a rat run for traffic and so a little noise was experienced. Good location for tourists as nearby to many.
For the price, the room was in a great location and had plenty of space and modern amenities. The shower was a bit small and I’m a little frustrated that we received a different room than the one that we’ve booked through Hotels.com. The check-in process was a little sketchy in that I didn’t ever receive an email to send required passport photos to, and you can’t send images through Hotels.com. That leaves you needing to send passport photos to an unknown WhatsApp number that didn’t respond to questions confirming that it was correct until an hour or so before check in. This made me feel a bit uncomfortable, but everything worked out.
Make sure that you bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body soap as there seem to be a random assortment of things left behind from a previous guest. both my room and my friends room that stayed in a different one both had about half a roll of toilet paper left, which required us to go out to a bodega and buy some our some ourselves.
lastly, I may have missed it, but I didn’t see anything in the listing about a required xx euro per person per day city tax. I don’t know if I actually believe that, or if that money just goes to the housekeeper. In any case it was unexpected and caused us some stress to try to go find change to leave this on the table before we checked out.
Overall, I would stay there again and would recommend it to others, but I might be a little bit more prepared now that I know what to expect.

You get what you pay for
Location was good. Not far from all the action, not too close so it is a little quieter.
The room wasn't ready when we arrived even if we arrived at 3pm which was communicated to the owner ahead of time. We managed to get in the room an hour later.
The room was dirty.
The room size is great but the bathroom is very, very small! I mean, it's hard to turn around within it if the door is closed...
The area is pretty busy therefore a little noisy. Not much the owner can do about it.
Air conditioning works well.
There is no onsite parking. You have to find parking on the street which can be a challenge.
Room was very clean and the location was near the attractions which I was interested. There was no particular view from my room but the other rooms had a view to the square.
