The apartment is exactly as appears in the photos, a little but fully contained flat with everything you will need (including condiments and even a little store cupboard of groceries) to enjoy Catania and its surroundings. Daniela's son Nino checked us in - very friendly - good English and French - and informative. Daniela was in touch before and during the trip with helpful suggestions including a good tour recommendation for Etna and even afterwards. Good location - non touristy part of town with quite a few restaurants which are good and not expensive - locals seem to eat there. On a small street so very occasional traffic noise but not much. It's around 15-20 min walk to town centre uphill coming back for a small part but the rest is flat. Would recommend it especially if you do not want to be in a touristy hub but close enough!
