The place is in a great location -- far enough from central streets to be quiet, but close enough to easily walk to many points of interest. It's very close to the bus station in order to head out of Catania for day trips. Amira was our contact and she was incredibly friendly and helpful with perfect English. The apartment is clean, spacious and well maintained. The only downside for us was the stairs going up to the loft bedroom and no real windows up there. I would not reccomend this apartment for travellers with very young children or older folks simply because of those tricky and very narrow spiral stairs. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I highly reccomend a stay here for people looking for a place to base themselves out of Catania in an apartment with good value and great hosts.
