Very special and nice apartment in the center of Catania. The place is very spacious and particular. Nice and open interior, well thought off, huge bathroom, terrace in front of the kitchen and an amazing shared rooftop terrace from which you can see over the city and look at the Aetna.
The apartment is ground floor, so the big windows are screened off and only open at the top, however, as we spent all days outside discovering beautiful Sicily that was not issue.
The place is in walking distance to many main sights of Catania. Castle Ursino you can basically touch from the sofa, the townsquare with historic buildings, restaurants and cafes is just a short walk away. We rented a car to travel to many places in Eastern and Southern Sicily, parking was never a problem (in December, might be different in summer).
Communication with Marco and Giada was very good and quick. Much of advice and support. They prepared a small booklet with tips what to do and visit - and even brought earplugs for calm sleep, as we were afraid that because of ground floor it would be loud at night, which was not really the case.
Had a really nice time in their place, Catania and the island. Definitely recommended!
