Lovely apartment within walking distance to the centre of town.
We didn't cook so can't comment on the kitchen. Although we appreciated the 4 coffee pods & a bottle of water provided for our 3 night stay.
I slept in the loft and personally I found the pillows hard and uncomfortable. Stairs leading up to the loft is narrow and steep so be careful when going up.
Bring earplugs because the neighbourhood dogs can get quite noisy.
Don't be shocked about the neighberhood surroundings because all of Catania is dirty. That said, the apartment is clean and is a sanctuary once you leave the dirty streets of Catania behind. It's very safe and secure. All in all would recommend for a short stay. Both Matilde and Maria were lovely hosts and gave us a lot of recommendations.
