Alessio was a phenomenal host! Even though his English was poor, and my Italian was far worse than his English, he communicated very well prior to our trip. Also, when I could not call him due to my phone not working in Sicily and I was a little late, he waited for me in the apartment until I arrived. His family was wonderful, and very friendly. I hope that all my AirBNB hosts in the future are like this! He even left water, tea, and beer in the refrigerator!

However, this location fronts a very busy street in Catania, so be aware that in the summer months when you leave the windows open, there will be some noise from the traffic outside. In every other way, there isn't a single thing that Alessio can improve on, as he is the perfect host!
