How close is Apartment in the historic center to downtown Catania?
This is a terrific apartment in a great area. Easy to walk to and from the bus and train stations, easy to walk to multiple restaurants and bars. The host Giuseppe was very helpful and friendly, and I would definitely stay here again.
Ideale per un breve soggiorno, pratica per raggiungere a piedi il centro, vicina a ottimi ristoranti, molto gentile il proprietario che ci ha dato indicazioni utili a goderci il soggiorno.
Adrian in Giuseppe were the Perfect Host and hostess. They had everything we needed to have a perfect 3 days stay in Catania.We would like to note that the stairs to the comfortable king/queen size bed could be difficult for older people. We enjoyed the coffee and yogurt provided. Kitchen was well stocked. Could easily have stayed longer.
