Maria was a very kind and responsive host. She offered to store our bags for the day after we arrived early on the overnight train. The apartment is very spacious and well equipped, just like the photos, and exceptionally clean. You can easily cook your own meals in the kitchen. The area is convenient for Lidl supermarket and can walk to bus/train station, from where you can get a bus to Etna. The area otherwise is not that great, but you can walk to the main centre of Catania to visit restaurants there.
