The apartment wasn't really my first choice. I had considered other places even closer to Plaza Duomo, but I'm so glad I decided on this! The place is super clean, beeline 3 minute walk to Plaza Duomo, and basically within walking distance to almost all the places of interest in Catania, which was great because we were travelling with kids aged 5 and 7. I saw some if the properties we considered, there were so many restaurants just by their entrances, we would not have been able to sleep. There are lots of eateries, shops around, as well as tourist information points for booking packages . Giovanni was also such a great host, welcomed us with a full pantry, we had champagne, fresh pastries, loads of milk, marmalade, pasta, you name it! And he was always available to recommend places of interest and things to do that only locals would know. Please stay here, whatever your reason coming to Catania may be. You will not regret it.
