Our host met us and brought us to the place. As described , the apartment was spacious, clean, centrally located. The kitchen was well equipped. After a few days I found I was addicted to the local coffee. Even though the apartment is only 10 steps from the market, it is very quiet during the day. The location was even better than described. Only 10 steps from a local market which is a combination of local grocers market and flea market covering a very large area. There is a bakery almost under the apartment as well as several others within 1-2 blocks. A very central location near a number of sites and within a 10-15 minute walk of the central bus station.
I would recommend this place and Gaetano for anyone coming to Catania,
