The apartment is fantastic and perfect for a couple.
The views from the balcony of Mt Etna are amazing. The balcony is equipted with a BBQ and ample patio furniture (dinner table, chairs, sun lounger chairs).
The surrounding area is full of friendly locals that are only happy to help or just to stop and have a casual chat.
There is some great street food to be had on Via Santa Maria dell' Auito. Horse meat is a big thing here in Catania and lots of horse sausage, burgers can be had here.
The apartment is close (5mins) from the market, another must-see.
Beer and food is cheap compared to rest if Europe, we paid 1.50 to 2.00 euro for a bottle of Moretti.
The apartment is located on the top floor of the building so make sure your luggage is light!
