We stayed there for 3 days in June 2015. The apartment is basic but is all you need. The kitchen is nicely equipped, the washing machine is also very convenient. The location is fantastic. Very close to airport. The bus stop for the direct to airport bus is only 5 minute walk away. The city centre, fish market, tour buses (both city and to Etna) are all few minutes away. One word of caution for Catania (especially city centre): if you have a car park it on guarded parking lot. We parked ours on the street and it got stolen. I think there is guarded parking lot near by. Ask Davide.
Davide is a great host. He was there to great us and explained everything clearly. We tried the bar and the tratoria he suggested and both offered good food at reasonable prices.
I would definitely recommend this place.
