We had a good stay at the apartment at Via D'amico; however there are some things that you should know before booking. 1. The apartment is very close to the central station and a short walk to the city attractions (like the bars and restaurants at Via Santa Filomena) – however, the neighbourhood is a bit run down and you get a feeling of a bit of social decline when walking around the block. 2. The lock to the outer gate (facing the street) is pretty damaged, making it hard to open it with the key when entering. 3. The apartment is pretty dark and damp, with small windows facing an inner yard that could use a bit of a face lift.
At total, it was a good value for the money and close proximity when walking to all the places in Catania.
