Location, location, location. This was my first time in Catania and I really enjoyed staying in this location. Having an entrance on the street was very convenient and it was 5 minutes walk to the duomo main piazzas and a few more to the rest of the tourist attractions. It’s also easy to get to from Catania Centrale, with all my luggage I took a taxi and it was only a few minutes drive.
I would highly recommend this as well for first timers because it’s conveniently just north of most tourist attractions, which makes it also walkable to the more pleasant restaurant neighborhoods off Via Etnea and Via Umberto where there are numerous popular restaurants and bars with an enjoyable aperitivo and dinner environment.
The space itself is exactly as advertised and is very nice having the bedroom and full bathroom upstairs with the living area and kitchen downstairs. I enjoyed the layout and simple access to get out on the street and get going. Highly recommended!
