We have been at Marika's place at the of October. Marika's place is simply perfect and I cannot think of a nicer host. She even picked us up at the airport and gave me a quick tour of Catania's center just out of her courtesy! The apartment is 5 minutes walking distance from the city heart and still quiet. It has a charming original design, is sparkling clean and fully furnished. Breakfast was great: fruit, milk and non dairy products, buiscuits and pastries, most of them organic. I really recommend the place for a pleasant and warm experience.
