Edoardo's apartment is very centrally placed for experiencing the city without hiring a car (more of that later).
It is a lovely, spacious apartment and is very well equipped. The outside garden space is beautifully presented and a treat to relax in.
The apartment is very close to the fish and food markets which can be quite noisy from very early in the morning.
I would NOT recommend hiring a car in Catania. Driving there is hazardous and 2 out of 3 vehicles have bumps and scrapes. Also, parking is very difficult.
Guido, Edoardo's father, was very helpful and quickly sorted out a couple of minor problems.
Overall, it was a very satisfactory stay.
