This is the perfect place to stay in style in the heart of Catania. Within a two block radius are many shops (grocery, bank, petrol and restaurant) needed for a long stay. The subway is only 3 blocks away which is a quick ride to the train/bus station or other areas around Catania, although those are easily walkable as well. A few notes I will make, there are stairs if not on floor 0 so be aware. Also, it is very difficult to park in front of the door as it’s a very busy street and there’s no parking lane. You can park on the sidewalk as some vehicles do (for a short time), across the street and there are lots further down the block. Finally, if you’re calling a cab, use the app: AppTaxi. I’ve found almost (as of Nov/Dec 2019) €20 difference in taxi prices from the aeroporto from getting a regular taxi vs using the app. (I’m not a paid promoter of the app - I just found it worked for me at 4am when I needed a taxi to the airport and there weren’t any around).
