Manu's communication from the very beginning was excellent! The keys were in a lockbox so it was very easy to get in to the apt. The location was on Via Etnea, the main street in Catania & it was very easy to get everywhere on foot. Parco Bellini is 1 street away & lovely to walk through with lovely plantings & statues. The apt. is on the 1st floor which means climbing up around 23 steps with your suitcase. Once inside, the apt. is very spacious & well equipped and spotless. There was a large basket filled with crackers pasta, a can of tomatoes, sugar, salt, arborio rice, juice & cakes for breakfast. Very considerate, especially since we arrived late from a day of driving & getting thru all the traffic & one way streets to the apt. We just cooked pasta for dinner with some Tuna we had bought. Every day there is an outdoor food market just a few blocks from the apt. Manu supplied us with a list of restaurants nearby & we tried one FUD which had about a dozen Burgers on it & very popular but the restaurant next door called Alè had much better food & a beautiful ambiance with locally sourced food. It had a garden & a roof that could be rolled back for lots of light on warm days & romantic evening dinners. If you are staying in Catania this would be the perfect place to stay!
