The stay at Massimo's was perfect. The room was really spacious and clean, location is also great- 10-15 minutes walk to the city centre. It takes a bit more time to walk to the bus stations where you can find buses to Etna or Taormina but it didn't bother us as we could see even more of the city walking there :) Massimo and his friend are great hosts, really kind and although they don't speak much English we uderstanded each other, sometimes with the help of online translator :) Massimo offered us also delicious breakfast at his bar. To sum up- it's a perfect place to stay in Catania!
