Lorena was a great host meeting us off the bus and walking us to the apartment. She provided us with excellent advice on what to do and where to eat in Catania - a surprise highlight being a trip to the opera on a rainy day which we would never have thought of doing and a visit to the war museum. The apartment is small but extremely well equipped for two adults and a child. The roof terrace is stunning - even more beautiful than the pictures and provides a peaceful haven from the city with spectacular views to Etna. The neighbourhood is great, felt safe and is only a short walk to all the main sights with good local eating places.
