Antonino’s apartment is in the best location for a visit to Catania: near lungo mare; right next to a coffee, ice cream, and pastry bar; and walking distance to il duomo and the main piazzas. Antonino was very easy to reach and very thoughtfully left fruit, yogurt, juice, and cold water for us. The apartment is breatiful and has balconies and high, curved ceilings.
The only downside for us was we visited when it was very hot in Catania and only one bedroom had air conditioning, so we ended up moving the beds into that (very sizable) bedroom so that we could all stay cool. Since we were two couples traveling we were hoping to have separate spaces but the heat got the best of us. When it is slightly less hot (Catania was 42 degrees Celsius at its hottest) the apartment would be amazing for a group, and the AC unit does cool down the house significantly. Otherwise the apartment would be great for couples or families or people who don’t mind sleeping in the same room in order to beat the heat.
