We stayed at the appartement of Manuela for two nights and then again another night one week later (normally it is not possible to book for one night, but she made an exception which was very kind).
The room and bathroom are very clean and we got a really warm welcome from Manuela! With some sweets and home made tea and honey. She gave us many restaurant tips around the area. She was also very flexible with our arrival time and we could leave our luggage a few ours longer. It is a quiet neighbourhood, close to the city centre and train station.
We can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Catania!
