If I could give a 6-star rating, I would!
This is such an amazingly cool and interesting apartment, and I highly recommend it if you're considering a visit to Catania. There's so much to love, so let me provide a few details:
Apartment:
Absolutely HUGE space, with high ceilings, preserving the original aesthetics of the building, while updating and modernizing to feel fresh and clean. The ceiling fresco design, and color palette were fabulous, with every room feeling special and unique. The appliances and amenities were modern. The view into a courtyard behind the building was an unexpected pleasure, including a peek at a kitten on a balcony :)
Location:
I really like that this place is a little bit away from the touristy center, but easily walkable (takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Duomo), and very easily findable, only 1 street off a main and familiar road. It was quiet, and convenient for everything we wanted to do. We did not have a car, so parking was not a concern.
