Davide's apartment is very well located: secure and central. There were supermarkets nearby. Davide was a great host; he informed us about the street parking and Catania in general. We really appreciated it! We were able to park our car nearby for a small fee. Davide informed us about the parking garages as well but we did not park there. It was a 10 min drive to Catania beach. Also we visited Isola Bella which was a 1 hour drive while we were staying at Davide's apartment. Definetely recommended for your visit in Sicily!
