Melania is a wonderful host; she makes you feel at home and clearly takes a lot of pride in hosting. Everything was spotless and comfortable, and I was happy when I was greeted by her cat Selene! I was only there for one night but Melania really improved my Catania experience- it was nice seeing a friendly face as a solo female traveler. I felt very safe with her. She even got me a croissant for breakfast as I had to head out for an early flight. Highly recommend Melania’s place, especially for solo travelers!
