The apartment is larger that what the pictures show, it was very comfortable and clean, had everything in working order and a good value. The wraparound terrace has amazing views of the city and the sea with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. It is a wonderful place to unwind with a glass of wine after a day of sightseeing.
There is a small family-run supermarket (Despar) one street over with a wonderful selection of cheeses, meats and wine plus a bakery right next to it.
There is plenty of buses around the corner from the apartment and also a metro station (Borgo) a few blocks away that takes you to the center of Catania and most of the sites.
We had a wonderful stay and would certainly recommend this apartment to everyone.
