Our stay with Flora was probably the best Airbnb experience so far. This apartment is everything we expected and more. It literally felt like we were in our home away from home with how cozy and warm it felt. The view from the balcony that wraps around the house is amazing and was a great place to soak up the Sicilian vibe. The house was located at the top of the main st Via Etnea and was about 35 mins walk for us to Piazza Duomo where all the tourist hop on hop off buses were. It was a beautiful stroll down the hill everyday to the market and shops but everything we needed was close by with a supermarket and lots of resturaunt just around the corner. Everything we needed to cook our own meals is provided and having the washing machine there was handy too. The hot water and heating in the apartment works very well and made our stay in the cooler season very comfortable. What’s more than an amazing apartment was the host. Flora was extremely understanding and flexible when we had to modify our booking twice and when we did arrive, even though we were an hour and a half later than what we had arranged with her it didn’t bother her and she was there waiting for us to show us in. She even went so far as to book taxis for us as our Italian is a little rusty. The combination of this beautiful apartment mixed with the great host is what made our week long visit here in Catania very memorable. We will not even consider another place when coming back to Catania.
