Sarah Says: Francesco is an incredible host and has a wonderful apartment for a stay in the perfect area. The transfer from the airport was seamless with Francesco's help, and the apartment was more than expected, with two terraces and a full kitchen. We made friends with the neighbors and they made us feel like family. The neighborhood is covered with plants and is tranquilo! The walk to see the history of Catania, to eat, and to go out was short and a pleasure, passing the Greek theatre and many churches. As a host Francesco went above and beyond to help us with places to see music, to eat, and where to visit.

Edom says: Not enough can be said for what an amazing person Francesco is, that is an experience in itself if you are fortunate enough to be able to book his apartment. The apartment was walking distance to all things in the area, and was very manageable when scouting some local history, a quick snack, or espresso (also bars bars bars). The apartment is very safe quarters, a short walk from piazza duomo, and here he has provided you with all of the appliances and resources you could imagen. We had only brought backpacks, but Francesco has prepared the apartment for any need. A/c, fan, kitchen, iron, wifi, tv etc. etc...and two terraces! One to enjoy breakfast, and one should you need to escape the bedroom in the middle of the night (yes, it's connected to the bedroom). Francesco is really quite good at English, if that is a concern, and he also speaks Spanish and Italian /Sicilian (of course). His major concern is you have a fun time, and he will be honest with you as to where you should go to have an authentic Sicilian experience ( he'll let you know the tourist traps from the things that make the people of Catania want to stay there for a lifetime). APARTMENT IS VERY CLEAN.
