We enjoyed five days in Catania headquartered at Max's place. The apartment layout, with kitchen/dining/living area below and bedroom/bath in the loft above, provided a sense of organization for our time "at home," and had everything we needed, including a washer for laundry. Max was always available and very responsive to our questions and requests. The apartment is close to the nucleus of activity in the old city center - a super, walkable location.
