I stayed with Francesca twice:
once when I arrived to Catania, then I returned from Noto and stayed with her
.again, until I took my flight back home
Francesca is a very easy-going person who
knows how to welcome you and make you feel at home.
it was effortless to communicate with her.
as for the room:
it is one of the best rooms I have ever had on Airbnb. it has a private balcony, ensuite bath and the bed is comfortable. I used all the facilities because the downstairs level is dedicated to the guest and I could use the kitchen just when I opened my bedroom door.
the apartment is located in the center of things and you can walk anywhere by foot.
I really recommend staying with Francesca especially if you're a single female traveler
best value for my money!
