The apartment is spacious, light and has all the modern conveniences you might want. Since I am in Catania for work a good wifi connection was essential and this works perfectly. Everything is virtually new, there's even a microwave as well as a proper oven/grill and the beds are REALLY comfortable. Location wise, I knew the area from a previous visit but for a new visitor then it is nearby the Piazza dell'elefante and Via Etnea (restaurants and cafes) and the Teatro Bellini (lots of bars). It is also near the quieter streets with local bars and restaurants and has a lovely view over Piazza Cutelli.
Thank you Jack as well for all the fantastic nibbles/fruit/drinks that you left. It made my first few days shopping free.
