I can highly recommend Maria's place. It is very close to the centre, only a five minutes walk and the apartment is nicely furnished (more beautiful than the pictures show). It was easy to find and we could use Maria's garage which made everything easier. As other reviews say there is a busy street nearby, but me and my eight-year-old daughter slept very well and didn't get disturbed by passing cars. Also the Etna is only an hour drive away. Already recommended it to friends.
