Like the others said before me neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you want to be close to the train station and bus station like us then you will get used to it :)). The apartment is pretty basic, we had everything we needed, but we didn't spend much time in the apartment, just shower and sleep and a morning coffee. The view is great, but the terrace could use some renovation. Overall is a good option if you want to stay in Catania
