The loft itself is a great space. Perfect for a couple. It’s a cute well decorated apartment. Very thoughtful to leave waters and maps for us. The lady that met us at check in was lovely. Although she spoke no English, we were able to get all the information about the apartment. The key to open the apartment was actually quite tricky and we had to knock on the next door apartment to get help getting in the first time.
The location is quite close to all of the attractions and restaurants. I have to agree with the other reviewers that say the area is quite dodgy. I would not recommend single female travellers staying here. As two females, we were quite harassed when walking anywhere. Some instances borderlined on frightening when I was grabbed at by one of the many men that roam around on their bicycles.
Once you’re past the immediate area you are greeted with all the history of Catania. It is truly a beautiful city, rich with history.
Thanks for having us Francesco.
