This is a great value place to stay in an excellent location. It’s a local, friendly, lively neighbourhood but peaceful at night. A short walk to all the main sights with local shops nearby. Francesco is very lovely, he was flexible with our check-in, a good communicator and quick to solve any issues. He even produced a parasol base within 30 minutes of asking! The terrace is great for chilling out, the flat is well equipped and clean. Good wifi, shower and a/c. The stairs are steep but Francesco helps with luggage and we didn’t find them a problem. Overall very comfortable and convenient for any length of stay in Catania.
