We've stayed in Giada's apartment for only a long weekend. At booking the place, communication with Giada went smooth, after arriving at the airport and later at the apartment, we couldn't reach her, and it took some time before we could get hold of her. Luckily the apartment is in the middle of the city center en we could have our first beer at the terrace next door. Gilda herself wasn't in town, we knew that in advance, so her sister would show us around, but in the end, her parents showed us the place. They didn't speak English but while showing us around she had Giada on the telephone to verbally give directions. All fine. The apartment is a great place to stay while in Catania. It's exactly as the photos. It's on the ground floor of the building. It was quite hot in the apartment, there's no AC. But there is a nice patio. The roof terrace is shared, which is fine, cause it's huge, and has some really nice views. The apartment has some great furniture and decoration and is nice and spacious. It has a great location, with all kind of restaurants and bars in the direct neighberhood.
