No water for 24hrs, dirty accommodation, rude service and denied access! But yeah good location
Location. That’s it.
Upon arrival, the code I was given by email didn’t work at the front gate so I pressed the bell and was answered by someone who communicated through the camera and speaker. He kept telling me there’s no booking under my name and it ended up being a shouting match! I am a girl travelling alone for the first time in a foreign country so you can appreciate how anxious I was about this response. I was having a panic attack unsure what to do. I then called the number on the email and the same guy picked up and just told me to send my passport. I did and he gave me instructions, so I clearly did get the right place!!! Going in, the apartment had not been hoovered in god knows how long. The floor was dirty and so was the bathroom, it looked like the seat was sprayed and wiped and that’s it. There were ants! I felt like staying in a factory, I slept with AirPods on every night because of the noisy machines outside.
I then spent a whole 24 hrs without water! Apparently this affected parts of Catania. Fine, but the only solution he found for me is to buy myself wipes… there was no tap, shower or toilet working for over 24 hrs and no solution or assistance was provided.
I left a snack open for 1-2 hrs and I started hearing noises to find a million ants all over it!! I called and contacted the owners who said I should throw out the food and tomorrow someone would clean. Okay.. I took a picture of the area indicating where cleaning is needed after getting myself to touch that mess. The next days, I see the accommodation has not been cleaned, not even that area. Again. Someone came in to fold my bed cover and quickly wiped the sink maybe. The floor is still a mess and some of the dead ants were literally still there. Awesome.
The WiFi also randomly stopped working, which I didn’t bother telling the owner as he had been useless the entire time.
The owner is unresponsive, rude and doesn’t care for accommodating you. The whatsappchat has been set to be wiped by him.

One of the worst experiences of my trip to Sicily.
Very little
Where do I start? To begin with, my frequent attempts to contact the owner/host, Guiseppe, were futile. The number cited for "urgent" issues was not connected, at least that's what the Vodafone recorded message said. So much for needing to contact him "urgently"! I attempted to call the stated number at least half a dozen times. I have the phone record to prove it!
When I was eventually able to access the property (due to the timely arrival of one of the workers, Fillipo), it was to find that my room was on the rooftop. Instead of the "apartment" promised (and paid for), it was a tiny, somewhat cramped (and none-too-clean) room.
The rug had rather suspicious stains on it. Walking barefoot on it was not pleasant. The air-conditioning was temperamental and, given that the room was on the roof, provided little relief and respite from the heat.
There were a number of promised inclusions which never materialised. This (so-called) studio was to come with a bathrobe (never provided), city views (unless you call the view into someone's backyard a 'city view') and "wine and champagne provided for guests" (never provided).
For the record: the definition of an apartment - "at least 2 separate rooms - bedroom and living room with kitchen facilities" and the definition of a studio (which this booking purported to be) - sleeping space with a kitchenette (if you call a "mankily" presented bench with an electric jug, a tiny inefficient fridge and a random assortment of various, dubious-looking sachets a kitchenette - I certainly don't) meant that the room allocated to me and which I had paid for did not in any way comply with these definitions.
Also, it must be said that the photo shown on the Sottinsu Apartamenti's ad is very misleading. It shows the facade of a very grand building in the piazza around the corner of the accommodation. The reality is somewhat different.

It was perfect up until the end.
The button to open the door from the inside didn't work. The host told me to leave the keys in the room or in the lockbox, so I left them on the table. In the end I couldn't get out of the property, he called his brother and half an hour later I was able to leave.

Great location, comfy beds, but unfortunately not too clean :(
Its my second time and I love the location!
Its my second time here and all is lovely, except it was again dirty.
Im not somebody who complains quickly...but the studio room was simply dirty... I hope they just forgot to clean it...
Although the first time last year I stayed there, was similar.... but I had a different room and the beautiful ceilings compensated dirty floors...
What a pity! For the rest its a wonderful place to stay
Csendes, biztonságos és tiszta tetőtéri lakás (3.számú) nagy terasszal az óváros szívében. A házigazdával nem találkoztam ugyan, de mindenben segítőkész volt.

L’emplacement, le parking possible proche, la facilité et l’autonomie pour l’accès. Appartement tout neuf avec tout ce qu’il faut et sécurisé.
Disons que c’est bien tombé dans mon cas, mais la Clim est dans le salon. Il y a un ventilateur dans la chambre, donc s’il ne fait pas trop chaud c’est ok
