Staying at Nancy's apartment is an experience in itself: we felt like we could spend our entire holiday there as it is spacious and beautifully decorated, it has a very charming atmosphere, but at the same time manages to be also clean and cozy. Furthermore, the space available to the two of us was really incredible for the price range: We had exclusive use of the large decorated salon with kitchen, the cozy bedroom with balcony and the private bathroom with bath tub. For those wondering about the room layout, the single bed is on a mezzanine floor above the bed. Also, despite being very close to the Duomo, and a few steps from the wonderful Monastero dei monaci Benedettini (highly recommended), the place is quiet and peaceful, with the balcony backing onto a quiet side-street. We were also impressed with the beautiful entrance to the building and apartment. We were met on arrival by Nancy's partner, Martino, who gave some local recommendations, then had the place entirely to ourselves for the rest of our stay.
Definitely to be recommended whether you have a long or short stay in Catania!
