Maria's place was amazing! Well outside Catania, but there was a bus that ran (but not on Sundays). There were many shops, restaurants, and parks near the apartment. Wifi worked well in the living room, and it was very clean. Maria is a star, meeting me for check in, bringing me Sicilian pastries, and even having her brother drive me into Catania when the bus wasn't running on Sundays! Highly recommend staying there!
