Elisa’s place was amazing, just as described. When we arrived Elisa was waiting for us and sat with us to give us many tips about how to spend our time in Catania (restaurants, amazing beaches, trips and excursions)- which was very helpful. The flat was very clean and comfortable and she left us fruits, snacks for breakfast and coffee., a very nice touch!! The location is just perfect above the fish market and we could reach anywhere we want by walking. The fish market is not annoying at all in the morning if the windows are closed, and everyday by noon they clean everything very well that you can barely smell the fishes in the areas anymore. Around the flat is the beautiful Cathedral, the downtown and shopping streets, all the nice fish restaurants and the central bus station. From the bus station you can arrive to the airport in 15 mins and in 10 minutes to all the nice beaches areas.
We met Elisa’s mother who lives next door and she was super nice and friendly- she brought us fruits all the time and we had very nice conversations with her.
In the second half of our trip we rented a car. During the week days it was easy to find parking places under the building (marked in blue), however, during the weekend it was more difficult so we had to park really far- but in all cases this did not affect very much our trip.
We will definitely stay again in this flat the next time we visit Catania.
