Beautiful, clean and large apartment with very Italian feel to it and amazing roof deck. As Velia's has a son the same age as our daughter we could make use of the crib, commode, toys, etc, which was great. Velia was very welcoming, waiting in front of the apartment to help us find a parking spot and she also bought us fresh fruit. The apartment is very child friendly, Catania as a city somewhat less (many streets hardly have sidewalks and there's traffic everywhere as in most Italian cities)
