Gwendolina was very welcoming - we arrived a bit early, but she was very happy for us to drop our bags and pick up the keys and for us to leave the bags for a short while when we checked out. There was a minor issue with the hot water that was sorted immediately.

The apartment is in a perfect location - immediately next door to the Piazza Duomo and the market with the other sites of Catania within walking distance. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops around (Double M in the market did fantastic fish).

If you are thinking of staying here bear in mind the bathroom is accessed through one of the bedrooms and the other room doesn't have a door - this was fine for us, but might not suit everyone. There can also be some noise from the street.
