This is a fantastic 2 bedroom apartment! Perfect for 2 couples or a family to make it their home base for exploring Catania. Pierluca met us when we arrived to go over all the details, he offered us his contact info and the assurance we could communicate with him whenever necessary. The apartment has been recently renovated and lacks for nothing. The 2 bathrooms are excellent, the kitchen is brand new with a clothing washing machine and all necessary accoutrements. There are 3 balconys with lovely views of the piazza and castle. A/C in every room, it was safe and comfortable. The neighborhood has become trendy with locals looking for a plate of (very inexpensive) pasta and a stroll. It's easy walking access to via etnea with all its shops and the duomo. We had a car and parking was very easy to find, even if we returned late at night. There are some "locals" who will shake you down for 2 euros to "park", but it's really a small price to pay and they should be technically held responsible if anything does happen. All in all this was a wonderful spot and our family who live their agree it was perfectly situated and appointed. We would love to stay here again the next time we are visiting Catania.
