Pierluca is a wonderful host! We drove from the airport to the flat. Navigating the roads in Catania can be challenging, but Pierluca was available when we needed help and had even saved a parking space for us directly across the street from the flat. Once inside, Pierluca thoroughly showed us around. He had stocked the flat with many essential and non-essential items. The flat is a wonderful space that easily accommodated (4) guests with (2) full bathrooms. It is equipped with black out shutters which is one thing I love most about staying in Europe. No sunlight comes in unless you want it to. The flat is in a very lively area of town. Parties do last into the early hours of the morning. We brought a large supply of ear plugs so it was not a problem. The town is walkable and we all felt very safe. There are many restaurants in the area with friendly staff and wonderful dishes. One thing we noticed well into our stay is that many restaurants have a regular menu and an "English" menu. Unfortunately, they are very different and we missed out because we always opted for the "English" menu. My recommendation is to ask for the Italian menu EVERY time. You will not be disappointed.
