Gwendalina was a great host and even though she was not in Catania during our stay she had Preccy look after us instead who was really helpful in answering all of our questions and giving us advice on where to eat and see. The apartment was beautiful, clean and very centrally located right next to the elephant fountain. Also they had espresso capsules and croissants for us which was a really nice touch! Only issue was the shower went between hot and luke warm which actually came as a pleasant relief at times with the Mediterranean heat haha. Previous reviews noted sounds from the lift- we had no such issues. Would definitely stay with Gwendalina again!
