Velia's apartment is amazing, one of the best Airbnb places we have stayed in (and we have stayed in a lot around the world). It is extremely spacious and comfortable with large and very stylish living areas and everything you could possibly need. It's a real family home, not just set up in a sterile way for rental purposes. The terraces provide wonderful views across the rooftops of the city in all directions. The apartment is very central and you can walk everywhere, including to the Duomo and fish market and to the train station. Catania is a real city that has not been sanitised for the tourist trade, which means there are some great places to discover if you look beyond the obvious but also some less appealing aspects (we liked it). Velia had some great recommendations for things to do and for bars and restaurants and she was extremely friendly and helpful.
