This is the best location in downtown Catania. Just around the corner from duomo square and close to bars and restaurants. Silvia was excellent at communicating and met us at agreed upon time with her mother at the apartment. The place is spacious and has laundry possibility, kitchen and large bedroom with amazing ceiling height! Breakfast stuff was provided in the kitchen and was very sufficient (serial, yogurt, espresso, pastries, juice). The apartment is on the second floor and there is no elevator, but this was not a problem for us and they even seem to have a handicap chair elevator installed in the staircase. The French balcony to the street is nice and there is a view to the street market (was on Saturday when we arrived at least). All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and do highly recommend Silvia's place!
