This apartment is really stunning. The painted ceilings, artwork, and furniture made the home feel very unique and original. Communication leading up to the stay was great and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We were provided some small pastries in the room for breakfast. The very best part of this place was the location. We were central to the main square and steps away from several cafes. We were close to the fish market, but did not think the smell/noise was an issue in this apartment at all. There is also a great view of Mt. Etna's summit from the bedroom; you can see the orange glow at night if it's not too cloudy. The building felt very safe and quiet, and the beds in this apartment may have been the most comfortable of all the places we stayed while in Italy. Thank you, Gwendolina, for an exceptional stay in Catania!
