We were in Catania for three night. Piero was the perfect host, meeting us at the central bus station after our Alibus transfer (4e pp). The apartment was lovely, better than the pictures (you think that's not possible) and sparkling clean. The shower was fabulous and the bed so comfortable we'reconsidering our own now!! It was so quiet too, no traffic noise , occasional noise from neighbours - I travel with earplugs, they were not needed! Its a short <10 minute walk to the old town. Listen to Pieros recommendations, they were great - the nearby Il Santi restaurant does the best pizza! Absolutely the best place to stay.
