About a 20min walk from the train and bus station, at first we weren't sure about the location. It is very close to the city centre but appears to be in a somewhat dirty alley . . . we were wrong. This is a great part of Catania and the "alley" is the food market that starts up every morning right in front of the apartment - amazing! We ate fresh food every single day.
As for the apartment and the host . . . fantastic. Big, beautiful, clean, and we'll equipped. Livio was attentive to our every request. he clearly cares about the experience of the guests. One night we ran out of gas for the stove. He was there with a new tank within an hour. Thanks to sound proof doors and air conditioning, the apartment is very comfortable for sleeping at night.
Clearly, we highly recommend Livio's place!
