Four of us visited Catania where we all stayed at Massimo's flat for 6 nights. First of all: the location is perfect and Massimo is a very nice host. We arrived quite late plus we got a bit lost between the airport and the flat (it was the fault of the gps), but he was waiting for us in front of the house + helped to park the car which IS an issue in (that part of) Catania. One observation: although Massimo wrote that there is free parking close to the house, it is extremely tricky to find a free place - after a few days we found a place to park the car (it is some hundred meters away from the flat on Via Osservatorio, between a church and a hospital), but if you do not feel it is safe enough (as I had this feeling a few times in the evening when we returned from our daily trips...), you can easily park in a garage just 3 houses away from the flat. Right under the flat there is the amazing Roma Bar where we had breakfast every morning, it is an absolute must see and must feel, we all loved the atmosphere of the place. So don't hesitate to choose Massimo's flat: it looks a bit wearier than in the airbnb photos, but it is a real Sicilian experience, believe us :)
