Great place to stay but please be aware it is a 15 minute walk from the main tourist area. However we felt very safe and enjoyed staying away from the main tourist area. The apartment is very spacious with 2 separate bedrooms. I would definitely recommend the secure paid parking if you bring a car. We also liked the local ice cream shop which is just a minute walk from the apartment and much cheaper than the ones in the tourist area. I would recommend this place to my friends and family if looking for a comfortable stay in Catania.
