The apartment was immaculately clean, brand new, and with all the amenities we needed for our stay. It was incredibly comfortable and was a great base for exploring Catania as it is very central and close to many landmarks, markets, main streets etc, but still very quiet - set behind a private courtyard. After a mix up with times we arrived before the apartment was available but Alessia's family were kind enough to let us use their bathroom, move our luggage inside and use the courtyard to park our car in. Alessia gave us plenty of advice for seeing the best of Catania and was on hand upstairs for anything we needed. We'd love to return!
