Very nice accommodations. The description of the fourth bedroom could have been a little clearer. It was attached to one of the other bedrooms. Would have been good for children but not other adults as you had to go through the larger bedroom to use the bathroom. Also it should have noted that it was 3 flights up with no elevator for people. After we drug our luggage up 3 floors we were told there was an elevator for luggage only. The host lives on site so was helpful - after we made it up the stairs. Very walkable to nearby shops.

Catania was lovely

My mom had friends in Palermo and she wanted us to come to Sicily. We visited her friends and then took the train to Catania. The train ride was one of my highlights of the whole trip. This apartment was so convenient-we had a great time! Thank you!
