Claudia was an amazing host with a fantastic apartment conveniently located next to everything we needed. She responded quickly to any requests, left us a bottle of wine, and also arranged a taxi for us all to return to the airport. Her balcony was being remodeled at the time of our stay - which she warned us of well in advance, asked the workers to delay their construction in the morning, and offered to cancel if it was an issue. It wasn't )) We had a lovely time in Catania sitting around her kitchen and could still use the balcony - it just had a bit of scaffolding.
Thanks, Claudia!
