I had a great stay in Francesca's apartment, it has a great location just a short walk from Via Etnea and all the main sights of Catania. The apartment has everything you need (air condition!) and there is a great grocery store across the street. Stop by the cafe next door for your typical Sicilian breakfast of granita & brioscia! Francesca was very friendly and welcoming, and I can absolutely recommend staying in her apartment.
