Our stay at Riccardo's place was a really good experience. His apartment was the perfect place for our short stay in Catania and we had everything we needed right there. We were especially happy about the three balconies of the apartment that allowed us not only to have breakfast outside with views of Mount Etna but also dinner on the balcony directly in front of our room after a long day of exploring the city.
Upon our arrival Riccardo's parents welcomed us at his place and showed us around. Everything was very clean and spacious!
From the apartment it took us about 20-25 minutes to walk to the city center and there were different supermarkets near by.
All in all, we can recommend his apartment for anyone visiting Catania.
