My husband and I spent a week in Catania at Alida's apartment and loved it. The apartment is in a great location near Piazza del Duomo and in a building with an elevator, which is great since there are a lot of steps to climb. Alida met us at the apartment and was the consummate hostess. She made us feel very welcome and provided us with maps and tips of local sights to see and restaurants to try. The apartment itself was sparklingly clean and beautifully appointed. Everything we needed was there: a comfortable bed, essentials in the kitchen for cooking, washing machine in the bathroom (always a plus!) and air conditioning (which we only needed to use at night since there was a nice breeze all day). We loved staying here and look forward to a repeat visit!
