The apartment was modern, eclectic, and comfortable. We enjoyed looking at Massimo's eccentric collection of books on film, architecture, and music. We particularly loved the view of Mt. Etna and Catania from the second floor balcony and the large windows on the second floor. The kitchen was well-equipped with all of the necessary amenities and the fridge was spacious and stocked with a few drinks, wine, and fruit for us upon arrival. The master bedroom bed was comfortable and Massimo provided us ample closet space for our belongings. Additionally, the shower was large and luxurious and the built-in waterfall shower head made for a wonderfully relaxing shower.

Massimo was very responsive to all of our questions and needs throughout the duration of our stay. He is extremely helpful with all matters. The apartment is located in the center of Catania and you can walk to many restaurants, cafes, bars, and important sights from there. Additionally, you need a passcode to enter the building so you can be sure that your belongings will be safe in the apartment. The entryway for the complex is beautiful, and the stairway feels like it has a lot of history. Be sure to take the stairs down sometime so that you can see it for yourself.

If you have a vehicle, parking on the street can be difficult at times but there are plenty of parking spaces on the roads within a 5 minute walk to the apartment. Pay close attention to the times on the parking signs because police do come around and give tickets quite often.
