Not the first time to Sicily but the first to Catania and Flaminio's place proved a haven from all of the noise and craziness that is that city. It is situated a short walk from most of the main sites of Catania. The kitchen was generously stocked and there was plenty of room as effectively you have a whole floor of the building. There are a couple of things to be aware of- we stayed during a particularly hot spell of weather and the air-conditioning did struggle to keep the mezzanine sleeping area cool. It was much cooler in the main living area (heat rises after all). Also, being used to sleeping in a dark room we did find the amount of lighting from the streets outside distracting. You should also be aware that the front door literally opens out onto a small piazza where you will find people at any time of the day, however the apartment itself proved to be very quiet. There is free parking in the street outside. All in all, if you are going to Catania I would certainly recommend Flaminio's apartment as it does 'tick most of the boxes' and as I already stated, it does provide a comfortable haven from a day out in the city.
