One of the best and most beautiful accommodations I've ever rented through airbnb! I stayed here for an entire week on a business trip; I would highly recommend the apartment to people traveling for business or pleasure. The photos don't do it justice! A beautiful historic 19th century apartment, recently and tastefully remodeled, that gives you the feel of stepping back in time. Super convenient location along Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of the city's main streets. An easy 5 minute walk to Piazza Duomo and the city center's most famous sights. Also close to Catania's amazing A' Piscaria Mercato del Pesce where you can buy fresh fruits, veggies, and--as the name suggests--fish! I love to cook, and the stylish kitchen had everything I needed: pots, pans, coffee makers, salad bowls, even a panini grill. The apartment has two balconies: a private balcony that looks out onto the street (and from which you can see Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga's historic home!) and a shared interior courtyard balcony, perfect if you need to hang drying clothes. The apartment has both a washing machine and a dishwasher, very convenient. The apartment is spacious; I was surprised how big it was! There is a large bedroom with stunning high ceilings, a second room with sofa/bed perfect for reading or relaxing or for additional guests, a dining room with a table for up to 4 people, kitchen, and bathroom. Roberto was both friendly and professional. He takes his job as host very seriously and made sure I had everything to make for an excellent experience. Grazie, Roberto! I hope to return the next time I stay in Catania.
