The apartment is exactly as you see in the pictures. Maria was a great host, she welcomed me when I arrived and showed me around. In addition, she was very responsive to any messages I sent. The apartment itself is very clean, has everything you need as well as air conditioning. Maria also left some thoughtful treats such as candy, croissants for breakfast, water, and juice. The apartment is located very close to the centre, about 10 minutes walk to the Piazza del Duomo and the via Etnea Street. Would definitely recommend staying here when in Catania.
