The apartment is placed right in the centre of Catania and the balcony is a diamond. We were travelling with our 8 months girl and Salvo warned us that the apartment isn't good for babies. This was an honest warming we chose to ignore. Even though we had a really good stay there we wouldn't recommend others travelling with a baby - to many stairs for all the things you need to take up and down. But that isn't Salvos fault :)
