Perfect location if you want to stay in Catania center. Castello Ursino and other historic sites are pretty much right behind the house. Borsellino bus station is 10 minutes walk and you can get buses to and from airport and other areas around Catania from there. Also a 20-25 minutes walk to the southern sandy beaches. Looking at the street view in map application I felt that the area is a bit run down but I found it pretty safe and friendly neighborhood. The apartment itself is modern and clean. Living area downstairs and bed and bathroom upstairs. The spiral metal stair is a bit tight to climb and ceiling on the upper floor (bedroom) is low. The entrance to bathroom is also very low (roughly 5.5 feet my guess) and despite being very mindful I still struck my head twice in 2 days. This however did not spoil my experience. Bathroom is well equipped with instant hot water.
