It is in the downtown of Catania, however, it also means that it is close to slum area. Arianna warned us that we should park our rented car as close as possible, but due to lack of available parking place we parked in a walking distance (approximately 300 m) and our car got stolen...it is not her responsibility, but everybody must be aware that cars are easily got stolen in Catania and it is recommended to have a good insurance on rented cars.
