Attilio’s house is pretty awesome. The location is completely perfect right on the Piazza Duomo which has restaurants and shops. One of the best things is that the flat is right there by the local farmers market and the fish market. That was so awesome. Being able to buy fresh veggies and meat/fish/cheese for our dinners was great. Small market right there for other items.
The flat was very nice. Super clean and well kept. The AC both upstairs and down stairs worked perfectly. Bathroom and shower was awesome. The bathroom was big, clean and with good towels. The kitchen was good and adequate. And pretty well stocked with cooking supplies ... pots, pans, etc. The refrigerator is not full size. But adequate.
Attilio’s mom and dad picked us up at the airport, for 5 euros each. Only 1 euro more than taking the Alibus. The great thing about having them pick you up and bring you to the flat is that there is no hassle about knowing where to go. It’s door to door. When we left, we took the Alibus for 4 euro. BTW, there is no printed schedule for the Alibus. However, it comes every 25 minutes sharp, and only takes 15 minutes to get to the airport. Super convenient.
I would recommend Attilio’s flat to my friends and will definitely return next time in Catania.
