This is a really special apartment in a great location in Catania. In my room there were two balconies- one with a amazing view of Mount Etna (which was very active at the time) and the other one facing the street where you can see the local the community going about their routine. I woke up every morning excited to be in a new place before even leaving my room. The two other rooms are very spacious and also with their own balconies. The rest of the apartment is a shared space with a big dining room/sitting room with dining table, two couches, a TV and another large shared balcony facing the street so there is a lot of space to hang out if you are in a group or sharing with other people. The house has all the equipment for cooking- pots, pans and the like. I was working online for the duration of my stay- there was plenty of places to work and the internet worked perfectly for zoom calls etc. Just outside of the apartment there are bakeries, fruit and vedge shops etc. with every essential you could need and it's a very friendly community. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the centre of the city. Above all else, I have to say the hosts, Massimo and Tomoka, were the best I've met on Airbnb- they were so friendly, engaging and very attentive when I was learning how to work things in the apartment and they made the stay even better.
