Alessandra's appartment was exceptionally presented, walking in felt like home. It was very comfortable and very clean. Alessandra picked us up as a favor during a downpour even though the apartment is not that far from central station. Local wine and a snack were waiting for us and the kitchen was stocked with tea and coffee. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and the rooms quiet. The location was good and reasonably central, however if you are not used to Catania don't be put off by the street scape which is not that beautiful.
