Our visit to Ernesto's apartment in central Catania was exceptional. He met us at the airport and gave us a ride to the apartment, which is about 15 minutes away.

He took the time to show us around, tell us how things worked and helped us to arrange a trip to Mt. Etna. The apartment is spacious and although we were only two people, there was room for 7. It is nearby shops, cafes, liquor stores and a daily market that is a 5 minute walk and is much better than any supermarket.
