We were the first guests to stay at Francesca’s after the travel restrictions were lifted in Italy, and we were reassured to find her place spotlessly clean, and just as lovely as the pictures. It was also a nice treat to find some goodies stocked in the fridge. The apartment is in the perfect location to set off on foot to explore the city. Although it was warm during the day, the terrace was lovely at night for watching the sun set. The first day there was a problem with one of the air conditioners, and Francesca was unable to get it repaired immediately, but within hours she brought us a new fan, and together with the other air conditioner, we were very comfortable. We greatly appreciated her quick response to our needs. We will stay here again when we return to Catania.
