Me and my girlfriend stayed four nights at Francesca's place in Catania and can just recommend staying with her if you visit Catania. The apartment was very clean and perfect located: Just five minutes to walk to the train station. And even closer to the viale etnea, Catania's main street and to the Teatro Massimo Bellini where a lot of nice bars can be found. I forgot some money and documents at the apartment and Francesca brought me the stuff to the train station even before I realized that I had forgotten it at the apartment before the check out. Thank you Francesca for the wonderful stay!
