Alessia was an awesome host! She picked us up from the bus station when we arrived and even drove us around town to find a bus stop that would take us to the airport since we missed the bus close to her place. Her apartment was just like the pictures. It was close to shopping, restaurants and tourist locations throughout the city. Alessia also gave us many ideas of what we could do during our short stay and places to see. She also recommended a great drink that the locals try and where to get it. We also visited Mt Etna one day, and Alessia provided us with information on different tours and how to get there and back along with the times the busses left. Overall she was a great host and I would definitely stay again! Catania was such a cute town with so much character, I would definitely recommended staying for at least three days :)
