I had the most beautiful stay at Riccardo’s place. He is a very kind, helpful and thoughtful host, who is always willing to help. He even picked me up at the airport and dropped my friends and me on the way back. The apartment was really clean, super spacious & well equipped, but located on a very busy street (so it gets noisy during the night). The location was great, close to the town centre, as well as the beach. Unfortunately, the whole neighbourhood was a bit messy, and if solo girl traveller I would think twice. My experience with men on the streets was just awful, and I have never experienced such disrespectful behaviour towards women. Seemed like cat-calling was invented in Catania...
