Annalisa kindly arranged for a smooth check in for me while she is away.
The apartment is decorated with lovely taste and maintained very clean. It's a step away from the main bus station / train station, and 20 mins walk to Catania's historical attractions. It's perfect to be kept as base of taking day trips.
seeing a rainbow and hearing the church bell on the balcony are precious moments.
The only downside is, if you are a solo female traveler, you may take extra caution to walk from historical district to the apartment at night, since Catania, the city itself, has very poor lightings, piled-up street littering and homeless population.
