I could not recommend this apartment enough! It is centrally located and within walking distance to many, many restaurants, shopping, and sites. The apartment is a blend of original architecture and modern decor and has all the amenities you would need - kitchen, coffee maker, TV, internet, etc. But the apartment itself is secondary to the hospitality extended to us through he owners and through their caretaker/assistant, Carmen, a lovely and charming elementary English teacher who lives in the building. Carmen was like having a personal friend in the neighborhood who could point you to special restaurants and shops, and help you find anything you needed in the city. We dropped her name in several restaurants and received free limoncello shots :) Our coffee maker unfortunately quit working during our stay and Carmen had it replaced in one hour; she also drove us to the airport! These folks really made our visit to Catania spectacular!
