My wife and I were positively surprised by the location; Walking distance to all the sights, the beach, and the open air market practically next door. It was also very convenient to have the train station/bus terminal only a few minutes away (by foot) as we made a couple of day trips. As we have a small child it was also great that air condition worked really well and that the apartment itself is very quit.
Deborah was a great host. She made very good restaurant suggestions and even got us a discount. She also helped us arrange a taxi ride (and negotiate the price) to our next destination Taormina. If we go back to Catania we will definitely stay with Deborah again!
