Friendly, basic spot from which to explore Catania. Marco & Valerio are gracious, friendly and prompt in communication. Valerio gave us a map of the city and pointed out a good number of sights and fun spots. The apartment is right on the square that houses the Castello Ursino, a few minutes walk from the amazing Pescheria market. Despite the proximity to the sights and busy streets, the Castello square is very quiet, almost serene. The apartment is in an old building with plenty of balconies, and very high ceilings. The bathroom is shared, as is the kitchen. We enjoyed making fresh espresso in the moka, and squeezing our own orange juice using the plentiful oranges piled on the kitchen table. Grazie, Marco e Valerio!
