This is a fine, large and clean(only thing missing was a bin) appartment that is being rented only to holiday seekers I suppose. The location in Catania is very good. Although the neighbourhood is quiet, it is bustling. The neigbours regularly sung during our stay which added somewhat to the atmosphere. There is somekind of electrical machine down in the garden that makes some sound regularly so if it is july/august and you sleep with your windows open, and you are sensitive to sound bring earplugs and all will be fine. Maria and her boyfriend were very helpful in general and in explaining what to do in Catania as well as advising me on public transport. Maria Grazia responds quickly to emails/text messages and I can very much recommend this appartment!
