This is a wonderful apartment in a great location, and Isabella and her family are some of the warmest and most welcoming hosts you could ever hope to encounter. I stayed for a month and, of the three apartments I stayed in in Catania, this was by far the best. The apartment is stylish and well equipped with a nice terrace away from the road. The neighbourhood, although only 20 mins' walk from the very centre of the city, is calmer, less touristed, and perhaps more liveable (depending on one's tastes) than the downtown area proper. In the immediate vicinity is a well-stocked supermarket just 2 mins' walk away, several bakeries, and a range of other eating places. Overall, I would recommend this apartment very highly indeed.
