My friend and I spent a wonderful few days hanging out in Velia's delightful apartment in the vibrant Catania. The flat was even more spacious than the pictures show and we had plenty of room to move about in between us. The roof terrace was a particular highlight for daytime sunbathing and evening wine drinking (she left a bottle in the fridge for us on arrival!). Overall the location was great for our itinerary, although it's worth pointing out we didn't have a car and relied on (the rather unreliable!) buses. The flat worked well as a base for us to explore the sights and sounds of the town from our doorstep.
Velia was an impeccable host, always on hand and extremely responsive. She even replaced my bed when it broke on the first night with a brand new one!
Would highly recommend!
