we really enjoyed our stay In Catania, the apartment is located a a walking distance from everything (we have just been walking in the city). It is all very new and equipped.
BUT Side Note: (TW-street harassment)
We were told by the host that the area is safe for women at night. This is not what we experienced ... My friend got followed home by a men, and then a family that was scared for her escort her back home and they told us that we shouldn't be there alone at night (was a Saturday) ... It might be unluck, or maybe we are just easy targets because we are obviously tourists and do not speak Italian. I am very sorry to put this here, but I would feel bad if a women alone rent that place and sth happen to her :)
