We had a fabulous 5 day stay in the lovely city of Catania. The unit is light-flooded and thoroughly equipped (very convenient) and comfortable. The area is a typical street, yet 1 minute away from restaurants, shops, busy streets and monuments, and from the more authentic parts of the city. Be sure to pack earplugs for the night - the surrounding city can be very lively. Our host was Siliva's Uncle Italo, he was very helpful and available to answer our questions. If you come by car you can always find a place to park in front of the the flat: people there are nice and will help you to get a parking spot.
