Staying at Alessandra's is more like staying with a relative than with a host. She welcomed us warmly upon arrival and had prepared a lot of materials and recommendations for us for a great stay in Sicily.
Her apartment is so cozy and has everything one could possibly need - coffee machine, electric kettle, hair dryer, shampoos, lotions, you name it. She had even prepared some mineral waters, jams, crackers, coffee, spaghetti and spices, if we decided to cook for ourselves or have a quick snack before going out. Not to mention the apartment smelled so nice of cinnamon!
The place is close to the center and also to the bus and train station, if you have planned trips outside of Catania.
Alessanda went above and beyond to ensure we have a great stay in Catania - she said she was available for any questions in What's App, so whenever we needed information about how to get from point A to point B, how expensive taxis are, etc, we would write to her and she would help us out.
Thank you for everything, Alessandra! :)
