Great central spot about a 20 minute cab ride from the airport and 20 minute walk to the bus and train stations. Neighbourhood is very lively but the unit is very quiet.
Great deck, good sized rooms, A/C in the bedrooms was a lifesaver in the 40+ degree weather. Common areas are OK but not super comfy to hang out in so we generally stayed out our respective air conditioned rooms when not out and about.
Claudio met us at 2am when we arrived (long delayed flight) and spent a bunch of time orienting us to the apartment, to Catania, and provided restaurant recommendations. Super helpful.
For restaurants try Osteria Antica Marina. Great seafood.
Definitely recommend this place Good value.
