Diego's apartment is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, and perfectly located for walking to the many bars, shops and restaurants of central Catania. It is very close to the Giardino Bellini, which is a lovely spot to sit and read or to go for an afternoon stroll. It is also handily placed to catch the alibus shuttle service to the airport.
We were met by Diego's friend, who was very helpful and showed us many places to go and visit in the city.
Communication leading up to and during our stay was very prompt and helpful. The flat itself was much bigger then we expected, with high ceilings making it nice and cool inside. The courtyard garden was a lovely space to sit. The kitchen was really well kitted out and had everything we needed.
I would definitely recommend staying at Diego's apartment, which was a lovely quiet retreat in the middle of a fantastic city.
