This room pretty much meets expectations for the price. It's clean enough, not in a fantastic neighborhood but not terrible and not too much farther of a walk from the center of activity. There's one staircase to the elevator but otherwise relatively easily accessible. There are no screens, so if you open the windows you might be subject to a mosquito or two (and no AC, so you'll want the windows open!) but it's high enough up that there weren't too many bugs. It's true that the view and terrace are very nice. Also true that you will have a significant amount of street traffic noise, but that's fairly normal for many places in Catania. Check-in was easy, people were nice enough. Bathroom's not fancy but what you need is there. It's a good room for the value. (*If you have any back problems, I would not recommend this bed -- it's more of a cot than a bed but manageable for 1 night.) Only real complaint is that the WiFi kept cutting out and I had to use my phone data to tether instead.
