The view is even better than pictured. The apartment is large, with a big living area. The bedrooms are in separate areas of the hallway and do not share a wall, which is nice. Overall we had everything we needed in the apartment. The location is perfect for walking to the city. It is situated off of a busy road so you can hear the cars go by. But this did not bother us. We were attending a wedding at 4pm on the day of our check in and the host was kind enough to let us check in earlier so we could get ready for the wedding. This made our logistics much easier as we had attended an evening event the night before in Catania. Dario met us for check in and he was very prompt. He showed us how to use everything and pointed out points of interest on the map.
