“A very big apartment for your entire family”
+This is a huge apartment on a narrow street. Although it's a bit dated - for example, the neon lights installed into the walls were very nice once, but the heat cycles have caused the paint around them to peel and also the floor needs a good scrubbing - it has a washing machine and a courtyard to dry your laundry in and it has a full kitchen. The WC is at the opposite end of the apartment from the bedroom, but it's all private. It has so much room you could easily have a dance party! (Don't do that because it violates the rules.) The entire apartment is on the ground floor. The host, Paolo, was *very* responsive. The Internet wasn't working when I arrived, but the issue was simply that a previous tenant had unplugged the 5G router/wifi AP and put it into a cabinet. Everything else was exactly as he said. The closest attraction is Ursino Castle and its nearby square, about 500 meters away. It's an easy walk to most of the city. Interestingly, the driver on my Mt. Etna tour asked why I chose to stay in that neighborhood because it's "the one place in Catania that the Mafia still runs," but he could have been joking.
−The central train station is ~2 KM away and you should consider not walking with your bags. (There's one spot where Google Maps takes you onto a very busy traffic rotary with no sidewalks, but you can go around that and the local park under the railroad tracks. It extends your commute, but it's much safer.) Also, don't try to take any shortcuts on the walk from/to the train station as streets that look as if they would be shorter/smoother don't always connect as expected. None of this is Paolo's fault.

+A truly worthy choice! The apartament is very spacious and has all the necessary equipment and even more. All the rooms were very clean. The apartament is located very close to the city centre, on the way to the public beach. We are very happy with our trip and our choice of accommodation. Returning to this place in the future will be a pleasure. The owner of the property is very friendly and ready to help at any time. Thank you!

“Spacious clean apartment, perfect for friends, couples or small family”
+The pictures don't do this place justice! We were amazed by the size and cleanliness of the apartment. I stayed with a friend so we requested extra sheets in the evening. The owner brought it in the evening and also kept in touch with us throughout our stay. He gave us a new coffee machine with extra coffee pods which we really appreciated.
−We loved everything.
