I can only recommend the stay at this very beautiful appartment in the center of Catania. My wife and I were the first week of July and we found ourselfs very comfortable using the appartment as a base to discover Catania and the est coast of Sicily. Also parking was not difficult at all, you need to pay but it was always easy to find a place. A lot of bars around. The communication with the host was really smooth and helpful. Go to Catania go and enjoy lovely Sicily from this gem of appartment.
