Carmela's apartment was a real treat to stay in. It was a beautiful space that really felt like home while we were in Catania. It's close enough to Catania Centrale, and even closer to one of the main bus terminals Piazza Paolo Borsellino.
The bed and linens we very comfortable in the summer heat, but if it got too hot for us the AC was a very reliable source of refreshment. The two small balconies we great for letting light and air in, and also nice to sit on and enjoy the starling swarms in the mornings and evenings. The kitchen was robust with knives, boards, pots, pans etc, and there is a nice coffee maker as well.
There is also a small family of cats (mother and two children) who live in the roof across the street, from Carmela's balcony you can see them lounge in the shade and come home from a hunt (wow).
We had a great stay, can't recommend enough : )
