We spent 2 nights in Elena's apartment in Catania. It is very spacious and nicely furnished. Elena and her parents were very helpful in finding us a parking garage and explaining the apartment. There can be issues with electricity if heaters and electrical appliances are used at the same time but you don't need a lot of heating in Catania and if there are issues they can easily be solved on your own. The beds were comfortable and big and the bathrooms clean. Also, there is a big, comfortable living room. The only issues worth mentioning are that there can be some noise from the busy street in front of the apartment (earplugs are provided in the apartment) and in our case the WiFi did not work (it seems that the provider had issues during our stay and that it was not Elena's fault - she called them and tried to get them to fix it). All in all this is a very nice place if you don't mind a little bit of street noise (which you probably get some of everywhere in a city like Catania). We would stay here again.
