Piero's place was ideal for my month-long stay in Catania: very walkable to the city centre and public transport. I was working for much of the time I stayed here, so having quick access to local supermarkets, bakeries, cafes, and bars were a perfect excuse to leave the apartment for a break. Being so close to Picanello train station was an added perk, allowing easy access to the likes of Taormina, Siracusa, Messina, and Palermo. I also appreciated being close to the waterfront to walk along by the sea.
I didn't meet Piero or Simona in person, but they were very responsive when I needed anything from them. Piero's sister, Giordana, got me checked in and gave me keys, and was otherwise on hand for any questions. Annamaria came a couple of times to clean the apartment as well, which was ideal. Everything worked pretty seamlessly and I'd be happy to stay here again.
