We really enjoyed our time in Catania staying in Max's bright and ideally located apartment. Given there's so much nightlife on the doorstep, we were expecting some noise - but it was actually perfectly peaceful. The flat is elegantly set out, well equipped, cosy and comfortable, the perfect size for two people. We had some issues with using an app to unlock the front gate when we arrived, but Max was instantaneously on hand to buzz us in, and was very helpful throughout our stay. Everything in the city centre is within easy walking distance and the nearby Via Plebiscito also has a few useful delis and shops for essentials. A great spot to base yourself for exploring the city and beyond.
