The apartment is well located in the centre of old town, approx 15-20 mins by taxi from the airport (fixed fare 18 Euro), approx 5-10 mins by Taxi to the Catania Centrale railway station. (About 20 mins walking, but not recommended with luggage).
Entry to the apartment was well communicated to us and made very easy. Lift to first floor, then 2 sets of stairs to the apartment.
The apartment is as documented, clean, well provided with amenities. (Particularly, the Coffee machine and breakfast goodies provided for us to use - most appreciated).
There is no washing machine in the apartment, however, Gwendalina, very generously, had our laundry collected and washed by Precy, (who is and absolute gem of a person, very hospitable, knowledgeable and helpful).
Previous users have mentioned the noise generated by the morning fish markets outside, (albeit 3 floors below), the rear windows and bedroom - we found the noise generated reasonably loud but quite acceptable, certainly generates a certain amount of intrigue and interest. Dont miss a morning walk through the fish, produce and cheese market, I’m sure you wont come away with an empty shopping bag.
The bathrooms were clean and plenty of hot water and water pressure, unfortunately, only one shower. (There is a spa bath in one of the bathrooms).
We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment, location and hospitality provided by Gwendalina and would happily stay again if in Catania.
