Giuseppe is the best host I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly kind, friendly, helpful, and has excellent suggestions.
The apartment is great with your own balcony that you’ll rush home to watch the sunset from. The location is perfectly situated about 7 minutes from the famous fish market and Duomo. It’s also next to a hip area with lots of good restaurants. I had read somewhere one time that the area near the castle wasn’t good, but that’s not true at all. Catania is a bit of a gritty city in truth, but totally safe. This is an excellent location and the apartment itself is huge, comfortable, and inviting. One of the best AirBnBs I’ve stayed in and definitely the best host. There’s a reason this place has 5 stars. Book it now. Don’t look anywhere else.
