This is a great place to stay if you want to experience living in the older part of Catania, walking distance to the Duomo, the fish market, the ancient Greek theatres, and the old Benedictine monastery.
The apartment is comfortable and clean, well-equipped, and Marika was very quick to respond when contacted.
It is definitely not suitable for those with impaired mobility - and if you are tall, do watch your head on the spiral staircase.
Do not count on being ble to use street parking in the area - it is almost always full. If you have a car, make arrangements ahead of time for a reserved spot in one of the parcheggios in the neighbourhood.
