The apt is at a great location; in the old part of Catania. It’s very close to the major sightseeing spots (eg. Elephant fountain), about 10-15 mins walk to the train station, and 2 mins walk to the bus station for airport shuttle.
However, it’s dated and dilapidated. It lacks proper cooking utensils. Cleanliness is a question, especially the kettle. There’s no central heating.
Also, it doesn’t really have a balcony. It’s connected to the next apt so the balcony doors have to be closed all the time.
