We really enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely recommend it. The apartment is simple and well-furnished, and suited us well as a couple. It was walking distance from the centre, but far enough to be able to park our rental car without having to pay. Maria was a very hospitable host - she and her husband saved us a parking spot so that we could park there as soon as we arrived. The apartment has the usual cooking amenities (though we ate out all the time so didn't use them), including a coffee pod machine. Maria had also left us some snacks, like biscuits and little cakes, which was a nice touch. There is also a beach umbrella in the apartment, which came in handy for us. There is air conditioning in the main bedroom, which was very necessary during our stay in the middle of September. There is also a balcony in the main bedroom which overlooks the main street, which provided some lively entertainment. We would stay here again if we re-visited Catania.
