The location of the apartment is quite convenient – just in Catania’s center, nearby the fish market und across the castle. Being in the city center, you should expect some noise, ear plugs are recommended for a good night sleep :-) Even though Massimilliano was not there during our stay, Guilia welcomed us very warmly and answered all our questions before and during our stay. She even gave us the best tips for local food and an excursion – a tour to Etna (highly recommend!). Our apartment was perfectly suitable for the two of us, with kitchen utensils and a very comfortable bed. It was not too hot during our stay (about 28° C), so we did not need air conditioning. If the weather is hotter though, I would recommend it :-) Going to the beach on foot has been rather a challenge, therefore you can take the bus ;-) Overall – thanks to our host and nice apartment we had a very interesting and vivid experience of the unique Sicilian culture and cuisine!
