This is a nice place full of family atmosphere and sense of community among people staying there. You would love staying here over a long time. It's clean, the room is big with a big window showing Mt. Etna! Shared living area is spacious with table and sofa to relax. With only three rooms, sharing the bathroom was never been a problem. Getting there for the first time would be work for some, with a local bus, but it's relatively close to the historic center, easily walkable to the Duomo and Fish Market, for instance. 15 minutes or so, I remember. It's a true Sicilian neighborhood not so infested by tourists. You can find several supermarkets, bars and arancini specialist, etc. The host family is multilingual, very friendly and helpful. I recommend the place especially for people staying more than a few days to truly enjoy the flavor of Catania.
