What a fantastic experience. Antonio and Marilyn made us feel very welcome, meeting us at the train station and walking us around the vicinity - a great intro indeed to Catania.

The apartment is as seen in the photos, which I am not sure does the place justice, really. The furnishings are to a very high standard, with great attention to detail; lovely large bathroom, plenty of hot water, spotless and well equipped kitchen - everything worked fine and we both slept very comfortably during our stay.

The location is ideal for exploring the Peshceria, which is less than a five minute walk away, with the main piazza close by. Not once did we feel threatened at night - very safe indeed.

I liked this place a lot. It is obvious a lot of care and attention has gone into its design and build, plus the hosts are wonderful. I got the impression that any request would not be too much trouble and they took "helpful" to new levels for me. Giving us a lift to the airport was a lovely gesture at the end. I would not hesitate in recommending this apartment to anyone.
