Velia's flat was wonderful and it's no surprise to see why her (and her lovely husband Francesco) are Super Hosts! They promptly welcomed us with upon arrival in Catania (a rainy, dark night) with their warm and sunny hospitality. Francesco was so gracious enough to welcome us in person - literally carrying our bags up to their flat from the main door. He made sure we felt comfortable in the flat talking us through all the amenities and showed us maps of where the flat was situated/answered our questions about local restaurants and landmarks. We felt like welcomed friends that they had known forever! The flat is situated perfectly in the heart of Catania - very easy to walk to the main Piazza, Via Etnea and other city landmarks for exploring. We had plenty of space in the flat to spread out - the accommodations were very clean and neat. Our favorite part was the balcony overlooking the street (so wonderful in the morning with the sunshine!) and the roof top - absolutely stunning view of Catania at Sunset. Glass of wine in hand is a must! I will be back to Catania in the future, and a stay at Velia's again will be in my plans!
