Leo's home is beautiful. According to his own description, it is in a traditional Sicilian building that has a large interior courtyard, with pretty stairways and arches all around.
In his home, the bedroom for rent is very large, has a balcony, and is furnished with tasteful furniture and lighting. Some of the furniture is handmade! The room locks, so security and privacy are available for those who want it. Leo let me have full use of the kitchen and laundry areas, and I was welcome to use the large terrace also (very nice in late afternoon and evening after the sun is low).
Be aware that this home is up two flights of stairs and there is not an elevator. If you are bringing lots of luggage you will need to hoist it.
The home is very close to the train station - 10-15 minutes of walking - and is also one block away from a shuttle that runs every half hour to the airport. Leo's home is also within walking distance of many great Catanian sights - the fish market, the Duomo, the Greek Theater and Odeon....I encourage you to stay here!
