Unfortunately we did´t meet Marili´s but we enjoyed our stay at her apartment. Everything was like expected. The apartment is good located and not far away from the fish market what we really liked. The kitchen is well equipped and you are able to cook your own pasta and fish on a small gas cooker. Due to the location of the apartment in the building it is quite dark- but this should be clear before you book it. The only negative experience was that one morning we, and with us the whole neighboorhood, had no electricity cause of a maintenance through the electricity company which we didn´t know before. But i´m sure that this will not happen again and Marili was very sorry for not knowing this before. For us that wasn´t such a big deal. Catania itself is worth a trip anyway. Our recommendation for a real and simple sizilian fish experience: Frutti di Mare da Nitto, Piazza Mancini Battaglia, 6 - the guys are lovely and the food is amazing.
