The apartment is beautiful. The location is great. There is a Salumeria, Panificio, fruttivendolo and mini supermercato just around the corner. There are a lot of restaurants and Cafés close by and the big shopping street is in 10 minutes walking distance. Salvo was always available and we had no problems during our stay. Parking is possible at the street, you just have to get a parking ticket on the machine, you need an extra one for the night, it's 1 euro extra. That's very important. A lot of people get tickets because of that. I can definitely recommend the place if you indent to stay in Catania for a couple of days and want to get to know the city. :)
