About ten minutes walk on a main street to the Duomo and heart of Catania. There are grocery stores, bars, bus routes, etc along the way. You are within walking distance of everything you'd need. Check-in was easy, Marco picked me up from the airport! Exceptional host and kind, with great local tips and suggestions. Private room with shared bathroom and kitchen. Great value for the cost. Absolutely recommend. It is as described. Will stay again. Grazie Mille, Marco.
