The apartment/Loft is superb! After travelling around Sicily for 2 weeks it was great to spend 4 nights at this loft. It has everything to cook a great meal. The location is perfect. The balcony faces the castle. You can enjoy your wine while watching the people below. It is a 10 minute walk to the fish market and Duomo. Go in the morning and buy yourself some great seafood and wine and cook a great meal at the apartment and enjoy it on the balcony. There are also many restaurants in the are.
Pierluca was great. He met us at the apartment and provided a map with all the great things to see and do. He checked regularly and provided info of things that were happening like the Catania street food festival.
If this apartment is available for your dates, go for it.
