There is a lot to see in Catania and it is a great base for exploring the eastern side of Sicily. the apartment is located a short walk from Duomo and University Square. There are lots of restaurants right outside the apartment for a quick bite, or a short walk will get you to Via Etnea and other areas with many more. The bus and train station are close - some routes there can take you through some not as nice neighborhoods, so keep in mind at night.
it was very hot the week we were there, but the air works great and kept us comfortable when we were there. the apartment has everything you need and is kept very clean.
