The appartment is really nice located nearby all the spots in the old city center. We could walk to the beach (30 minutes) or take a bus (15 minutes), only 1 euro for 90 minutes. In one of the rooms it is quite noisy in the morning, because of the market and a busy street. But we knew that this was the case, so with earplugs it was fine! The hostess responded quickly and was very flexibel. We enjoyed our trip in Catania very much!
