The apartment is cute and cozy. It is a small one, for two persons max. There is everything you need, except maybe for a kettle, but there was this steel jar we used to boil water, so shouldn't be a problem.
Very centrally located, 5 mins by foot to Duomo square, same to via Etnea. Safe area. Closest big supermarket is on via Sicilia - be careful where you go from there and to the supermarket, there is immigrants' and prostitutes' area all of a sudden.
Many restaurants and bars around, as well as various clothing shops in via Etnea.
Only one issue - the stairs is a killer one!! Very narrow and steep, so don't bring a large heavy suitcase with you!) Luckily David, Simona's friend, helped us (two girls) and brought them upstairs himself! Thank you, David :)
Simona was very easy to communicate with, even though she doesn't speak much English - Google translate helps everyone :)
We got many recommendations on where to go to eat and drink in Catania, where to go near the city (Acitrezza and Acicastello are a must!), so very useful and informative!
Overall - a very pleasant experience, would gladly recommend for a couple or two friends, like us!
Grazie, Simona 😘
