We came to Valerio's apartment for 3 nights as Catania is the best starting point for exploring Syracuse, Taormina, and the east coast of Sicily. Firstly, we were really surprised by the quick response to our messages when we had trouble getting there. Valerio was really helpful and kind. The apartment was clean, well equipped (including air-condition) and in the end, we didn't miss anything. Catania Centrale is 10min away, Catania Center is behind the corner. the only thing we can complain about is quite noisy neighbors.
