Our host, Edina, was so accommodating. She let us come earlier than check in time. We had the room with the private bathroom and washing machine. Loved the apartment. She had a coffee machine, milk and snacks that we could help ourselves to. We also had access to the refrigerator. Upstairs there was a nice terrace with comfortable seating and a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Edina was very knowledgeable about Catania. Through the Booking App, she sent us lots of information which was very helpful. If we had any questions, we text her through the App and she responded very quickly. Such things as visiting Taormina by bus, restaurants etc. She even booked a taxi for us to go to the airport when it was time to leave. The apartment was in a great location. Thanks for the hospitality Edina!

Edina and Paolo were super welcoming and showed us around everything. The place is made with much love and style and is super super clean. Catania is quite small and this place is right in the middle of it. No matter what direction your going to, there is something near by to do or to see. We had an unexpected situation with our rental car and had to get back to the airport. During that time we were allowed to leave our baggage longer which was also very kind and helpful for our trip. It really is a homestay because you feel like at home and have the necessary privacy as well. If Catania definitely again at their place.

Edina was very welcoming, and it was a pleasure to meet her as a host and human being 🌋😀 Catania is full of cultural spots, and the Homestay has a good location to visit it all. Moreover, the place is so cosy and clean. +1 to the rooftop with the view on Etna and the city. What an experience 💗

At first we were worried to share the bathroom, but finally everything was so clean and people are so discrets, we even appreciate the concept. Bravo!

very comfortable room with all needed facilities. the room is well equipped and the bathroom is very comfortable. there is a shared kitchen and dining room equipped with all needed. we loved the balcony with a view to mt. etna The couple who own the place are very friendly, they gave us recommendations to very nice places around the old city. the apartment it self is located close to the main attraction, about 300m away, the street it self is not much but the apartment is safe

Edina was the most lovely host and took a lot of time to tell us about the must-sees in Catania or even other places in Sicily. Also, her boyfriend is a Geologist and does amazing tours on Etna off the beaten path - we had the most amazing hike up there. Edina even had free cookies and coffee for us in the kitchen :D In general, lovely people, beautiful flat, amazing rooftop (just like in the pictures) - a must if you visit Catania! :)

even if just one night, we loved our stay - the location is excellent, Edina and Paolo were extremely friendly and helpful to advise on things to see/do/eat in and around Catania and were very flexible also in allowing us to leave our bags and pick them up in the evening before the night train.

while the flat is very beautiful and comfortable; with all possible amenities - having to cross the living area to reach the bathroom from the bedroom might be slightly uncomfortable for some

Edina and Paolo really are the best hosts ever. Young and dynamic, they immediately make you feel at home. They are always at hand for genuine suggestions on where to eat, what to see or what to do. As Paolo is a guide on Mount Etna, he also has extensive knowledge on the volcano and can arrange everything to get there. The apartment is clean and cosy and the rooftop terrace gives you a perfect view of Mount Etna.

Edina is a great host. She is super friendly, gives you all the information you need for the things you want to do, she cleans the flat everyday, provides you with free snacks and coffee and creates a beautiful atmosphere with candles and lights during the evenings.
