The apartment itself is beautiful, very clean and tastefully decorated. Ester and Salvo were so helpful and sent us lots of information about how to check in, where to get taxis, the best restaurants etc, for which we were incredibly grateful. We loved the rainfall shower, although the bathroom needs more places to hang the towels. The only thing that lets this place down is the noise from the bar below - on our first night (a Wednesday) it was extremely loud until well past midnight, so we didn't sleep very well even wearing earplugs. The second night it was much quieter though, so I think it just depends what is happening. The central location in Catania is perfect, we easily walked to all the attractions we wanted to see.
