There are pros and cons about any place. This one has large spaces, balcony and roof top deck, a complete kitchen. Its generally nice and clean. The cons for me, the noise from a restaurant or social gathering in the court yard, i could barely fit in the shower (5ft 10inches, 36 inch waist) and the beding was a little course with an older inner spring mattress.
But the quality for price is good. The train is not noticeable for noise. Its 6 flights of stairs with no elevator.
I have no other reference point for Catania, but i hope this helps anyone reading on booking it or not.
