This apartment--which is actually two apartments combined for larger groups--is a great fine. It has much to recommend it including an ideal location that is in walking distance to most of the main attractions in Catania and some of the city's best restaurants. The historic Fortress is right in front and one of the top rated restaurans is directly behind it.
The property is well equipped, with a full kitchen and 1 1/2 baths in the master bedroom suite and two bedrooms, 2 full baths and a kitchen in the back apartment. The entire property is air conditioned and there are four balconies in total. It is well furnished with a number of interesting decorative touches throughout and with modern appliances and fixtures. It was very clean and well maintained, and the Mrs. Mar, the agent for the owners, was very helpful, available and responsive throughout our stay.
While it's not a criticism of the property, two issues that one should consider in booking this property is that (1) it is on basically the third level with no elevator and\only accessible by climbing an imposing marble staircase, and (2) the showers are small which could be difficult for larger guests.
