Fernando's place was modern, clean and made our stay delightful. Check-in was incredibly convenient with a lockbox next to the door which revealed the keys. The apartment was spacious and all on one floor with the kitchen/lounge, then bedroom and finally bathroom all with sliding doors to offer some privacy. We received a lovely welcome note and magnet on the fridge with water in the fridge and fresh towels on the bed. The kitchen table also had an array of coffee pods and tea bags with a TV equipped with Amazon Prime Video so we could watch TV and movies in the evening. The aircon was perfect as the heat in Sicily in July was intense so coming back to this was great (simply put in the little key to the slot by the fridge, turn it and you then control the aircon with the remote!). The bathroom was lovely and modern with a hot shower, washing machine and various cleaning supplies. In terms of location, it's close to bus stops and a 10 minute walk to the main bus station and train station (Catania Centrale) where you can go to Taormina easily for a day as well as the beach, main centre and Etna. Otherwise, it's a 20 minute walk into town (Piazza del Duomo) which is actually quite nice as you get to explore the streets of Sicily which get a lot prettier the closer you get to the main square. Food and cafe options were decent but somewhat limited unless you're willing to walk around and honestly Google Maps was a must as we found it hard to find our way back at times. We felt very safe and welcome in the area even at night and there's actually a small Kiosk selling water, coffee and ice cream right at the end of the road open til 3am so that was also convenient. Recommend this AirBnB if you're staying in Sicily and don't mind not being right in the centre - it's worth it for the place itself!
