Unfortunately my friend got bed bugs which was quite unpleasant. But otherwise the hostel seemed nice and had nice shared spaces.

Caution! Bed bugs! Unfortunately, a girl and I both got bed bug bites in Casa Verdi even though we slept in two beds far apart from each other in one room. We also know for sure that it came from Casa Verdi and had the bites diagnosed by a doctor. This was not a big surprise, because the hostel was not very clean. There was a lot of dust in the corners everywhere, especially in the corners of the bathroom and we noticed that the overblankets in the rooms were not washed after they were used by a guest. So unfortunatly i have to say it's no wonder that there are bed bugs. Very sad because the people were very sweet. Addressed that we had bed bugs from the Casa Verdi, I initially got back only an incoherent message with many typos. When I then pointed out the problem again, I was only told that nothing could be done. I was offered neither a refund, nor a partial refund, nor any other final concession. They just told me that it could happen anywhere, which is not true because bed bugs die if you wash bedding properly. The fact that another girl and I had bed bugs in two different beds shows that the place is not clean. The stitches are all over my face, I look like a puffball. It itches and hurts. I also have to disinfect all my luggage. Not cool! I've stayed in many hostels in Europe, I've never had this. I know other people have had bites too. We thought it was mosquitoes bites at first, so a lot of people just weren't aware. But I went to see a doctor and he clearly identified the bites as bed bug bites. So I'm sorry folks, but I advise you to stay away from there.

Análise do ambiente
A Casa Verdi parece mais um apartamento criativo compartilhado do que um hostel padrao: um predio antigo de Catania com tetos altos, arte, livros, violoes, salas comuns aconchegantes e um terraco ou varanda cheio de plantas feito para ficar sem pressa. O estilo da casa e informal, caloroso e baseado em compartilhar, nao em polimento de hotel. A cozinha e uma forca real, com utensilios, cafe, cha, temperos, itens basicos e as vezes biscoitos ou comida compartilhada por ali. O mercado perto facilita cozinhar, e o setup pode virar longas conversas na mesa da cozinha, jantares em grupo, bolo, noites de pizza ou rolês tranquilos. A cena social costuma ser relaxada e amigavel, nao barulhenta de party hostel. Pequenos shows, encontros, eventos de improviso em ingles e dicas da cidade dadas por voluntarios dao um pulso comunitario, enquanto a rua tranquila e os quartos privados amplos ainda funcionam para uma chegada mais suave. Banheiros limpos, quartos espacosos, toalhas, varios chuveiros e voluntarios multilingues prestativos fazem parte do apelo. Granita, a gata, e um cachorro somam ao clima de casa vivida, mas alergias a animais valem ser levadas a serio aqui.
