Gwendalina's place is in an exceptional location just minutes from the piazza Duomo, right next to the amazing fish (and veg/cheese etc) market and Alibus stop which comes direct from the airport (see below for more help with this). Very quiet inside the apartment due to the a/c. Amazing interior ceiling and marble floors. Good - basic bathrooms and kitchen - all very clean. Exceptionally welcoming people who helped with luggage storage as we arrived and left outside of normal check-in / check-out times. For some reason I thought the 2 apartments were interconnected by an internal door but this wasn't the case - but it didn't matter for our group. They are right next door to each other anyway. Good beds and sofa beds too.
NB if you are getting the Alibus from the airport - ask for the closest stop to the fish market as this is only 5 mins walk away. Check out Streaty Food Tour www.facebook.com/streatycatania if you are interested in finding out more about the local cuisine and a bit of colourful City history too. It was really good.
