The inside of the apartment is clean and comfortable, although smaller than we expected. The outside of the building is a bit run down. There is no elevator and the apartment is on the third floor. Because it's an old building with tall ceilings, there are 85 steps to get there. This was hard as we were spending all day walking Catania! Location is pretty good, about 15 minutes from Piazza Duomo. Via Filomena with all the restaurants and bars is even closer. Eleonora was very helpful with everything.
