La Casetta is located in the north of the city with an easy way out towards Etna and Taormina. You can walk to the center and the Duomo square in 25-35 minutes. There is parking near the apartment, during the stay we have never had a problem finding a place. The price of the car park is 0.9 EUR per hour, but only between 8-13 and 15-20. After leaving the apartment, turn left and after 50 m there is a supermarket open every day, also on Sunday until 22:00. There are several cafes that serve delicious Italian coffee, for less than EUR 1 - probably the cheapest coffee in Europe.
There is self - check-in and check-out and it's very simple. Georia, the hostess is helpful, replies fast and gives directions for visiting the city. The equipment of the apartment is very good. Everything is new, the apartment is renovated. The beds are very comfortable, bedding and towels like in a hotel.
We were moving by car but you have to know that the traffic in Catania is very big and maybe a little less coordinated than in other parts of Europe - you should be stress resistant and have great parking skills. The bus stop is located a few meters from the apartment, but there are no running hours on the timetable. The metro station is also very close, but it does not run towards the center. From the airport you can reach the Alibus line (4 EUR) or taxi (25 EUR).
I recommend the apartment La Casetta mainly due to the high standard, but also great location and nice owner. Catania is great, it is necessary to go for a fish market and taste the local Sicilian specialties.
