The apartment is in an amazing location; close to transport and right in the center of old Catania, on a nice piazza with good cafes and a beautiful theater. It was kept very clean and had all the amenities needed. Washing machine + space to hang laundry outside, a kitchen with the necessary equipment, and air conditioning. The loft can get a bit hot and stuffy so I recommend opening the window at night or keeping the AC on. We weren't there at the height of summer so I'm not sure how it is in July or August.
The place was pretty quiet too, being inside a private courtyard. You can hear some noises from other apartments and it does seem like it's coming from yours, but it's not very disturbing. Definitely beats traffic noises and noises from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I recommend it!
