Francescos apartment was very well located in Catania, with just a couple of minutes walk to supermarkets in one direction and down to the city centre in another direction. There are lots of restaurants and cafes close to the apartment.
The communication with Francesco worked really well. Due to a problem with the train from Palermo to Catania I arrived two hours late, but there were no problems changing my check-in time in short notice.
I really recommend this apartment both for short and longer stays in Catania.
