Manu's place is beautifully modern. The weather was a bit chilly while we were in Catania but the apartment was cozy and warm. The showers have great pressure and heat, and the beds are comfortable. The location on Via Etnea is great. The bus from the airport drops you off right across the street from the apartment, and likewise getting to the airport from the apartment is the same bus stop. Manu's brother, Michele met us at the bus stop and gave us the keys and some recommendations for restaurants nearby. Honestly, though, the food scene in Catania is unbelievable. Pretty much any restaurant you go into will serve great food, and the pastries are world-class pretty much across the board. Next time we come to Catania, we will definitely stay at Manu's place.
