Summary: I would say that for two men in their 60s traveling on a lark, this apartment provided very near access to Catania's historic district and the surrounding coastal cities such as Taormina and Syracusa. We even managed a successful day trip to the Valley of the Temples. It met our requirement of separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms. And we did manage to find street parking nearby every night. But be aware, the ocean view is only from the front balcony and you will never sit out there because the street is loud. The second bathroom is off of the bedroom balcony so basically you have to go outside to get to it. The bathroom itself is quite old and the shower stall is tiny and missing a panel so that the floor gets wet. A mop is provided for that. It was fine for me but I doubt my wife would've liked it had she been along.And the apartment building is old and in need of some repairs. The elevator went out for a day or two.This is not some brand new, fancy shiny location. It is old Catania and and has a patina and graffiti everywhere on the streets. The shoreline nearby is fairly industrial but on our last day we found that if we walked 15 minutes to the north there was a nice restaurant area with ocean views. Highly recommend that area for walking distance dining in the evening. The apartment was well stocked. There was coffee, an espresso maker, sugar, even a bottle of vodka 3/4 full. And some bottledwater was provided for our arrival. It was a successful stay for us
