Pierluca's apartment was simple, clean and in an excellent location along Castello Ursino in Catania, Italy. One queen sized bed in a walk up lofted area, and a sofa bed in the main living space.
Pierluca helped with local taxi reservations, immediately replaced a broken key and gave local tips for food all easily via WhatsApp.
Just a short walk, maybe 5 minutes, to the Dumo plaza where the elephant statue is, and even shorter to an amazing fish market and produce market where you can get anything you need at excellent prices if you're looking to cook at home.
The location felt safe and wasn't loud at night, despite the nearby bars and cafes. There's a great family restaurant up the street called Do Antonio if you need to get a bite on your way into or out of town! Cheers and grazie.
