Ivana was really helpful from day zero. Before our arrival she already sent us a list with places to visit and where to eat in Catania and surroundings areas; plus how to get to the apartment step by step -I recommend gps anyway.
The apartment is divided in two floors and the top one was our private area with a big room, a second living room and a bathroom. Everything you could need. Breakfast was served in the main floor balcony with great views over Catania.
Location is perfect if you are renting a car to travel around the area. We drove from Ivana's to Taormina, Noto, Siracusa and of course Catania city centre and Etna. Actually, the visit to Etna was a tour that Ivana booked for us and we're so happy we decided to go with them. They picked us in the apartment and dropped us back later in the day. Carmelo, the guide, was so passionate and full of knowledge and made the hole experience even better than going on your own.
We would definitely recommend to stay with Ivana and Cristina if going to Catania. They are so friendly and helpful in everything and the place is great. Gracie Mile!!
PS: Trattoria Le Tre Bocche is a must!
