This is a truly exceptional apartment. The architecture is interesting and the decor beautiful. The place is wonderfully comfortable (great bed) and spotlessly clean. The rooftop terrace is a great place to relax or have drinks with friends—beautiful view of the city. It is also in a perfect location to explore Catania: it is on a quiet street but near to everything. Francesca, the host, is a treasure. She is friendly and responsive and has stocked the place generously with towels, breakfast items, soaps, paper products, plates and glasses—whatever one needs is already there. I would give this place and this host 10 stars, if I could.
