I really enjoyed staying here. The apartment itself is a very clean duplex with a half bath on the first floor, big kitchen, lots of windows everywhere, and on the top floor, a huge bathroom and large bedroom with attached terrace. The weather has been a bit iffy the first three days but on the fourth morning, I woke up to see Mount Etna staring back at me from the terrace. The owners are incredibly responsive and helpful. The apartment is about a 7 to 10 minute walk downhill to the main center of Catania but there are a lot of cool things nearby. I never felt unsafe in the neighborhood even though Catania can look a little gritty. There is a grocery store only two blocks away and lots of neat little restaurants and cafés even closer. The Internet works really well on the first floor but is a little bit iffy from the bed on the second floor just FYI. Also the shower is incredibly warm in the best way and the washer works really well. There’s also plenty of heat in the apartment if the weather turns cold as it did a few days when I was there.
