Monika's flat is conveniently located in a street not far from the Bellini Gardens and the shops, cafes and restaurants on Via Etnea. The room is large and well-furnished, and can be used as a study or sitting room as well as a bedroom. Plenty of storage for clothes and other belongings. The bed is comfortable. The room is completely dark once the outside roller blind is let down. It is situated on the inner courtyard, which is very peaceful at night-time. The shared bathroom has a good shower, and Monika has thoughtfully provided the necessary toiletries.
Guests also have the use of the washing machine at the end of the courtyard balcony, which I found a godsend after my long trip round Sicily, and the kitchen, for those who want to cook, or just make coffee.
Monika is a very kind, experienced and communicative host who does her best to make her guests feel comfortable and well-looked after. I thank her for her warm hospitality, which made my stay in lovely Catania even lovelier.
