We stayed in Romina's apartment for 3 nights in July. The apartment is a 15 minute walk from the Duomo and the rest of the historic centre where there are lots of bars and restaurants. We liked being a short walk away from the centre as it was quieter. The terrace is lovely and gives you the opportunity to sit in the sun and have a barbeque. Romina was a great host, meeting us at the apartment, giving us lots of information about Catania and ensuring that we had everything we needed. The apartment is very close to a bus stop at Piazza Trento that takes you to the airport in 30 minutes so this was really convenient. I would recommend this listing as a great base from which to explore Catania.
