Accomodation is close to the train/bus, and a flat boardwalk for luggage. Also a delightful ice cream/coffee shop is located on the corner. Neighbours are friendly, but no English, so it's fun waving. Close to all Piazzas and shopping, not long walks. The apartment has a TV and AC, albeit it rattles a bit but does cool the bedroom. The rooms are big enough, with a one floor stair climb. All in all, it's what it is advertised as, it's local, city, apartment living, basic and affordable. We enjoyed Catania.
