Monica is an excellent host. Although our flight was late and we arrived quite late at night, she was waiting for us with a big smile. She showed us around and the next day she gave us detailed information about Catania, the sights and suggested great places (which we tried and were really amazing). Throughout the 5 days that we spent in her apartment she was always available and extremely helpful whenever we had some questions or requests.
The house was great for our needs. It's only a 20-minute (slow) walk from the city centre. The air condition meant a lot after a long day in the heat.
All in all, we had a great time! :)
