Massimo was a great host. He picked us up from the bus station which was a great help. He also took us to Etnaland which was awesome and we even went to the beach with he and his family. He offered any information regarding Catania that he could and we were extremely grateful.
In regards to the property, we would recommend this for a short stay only. For a couple of days it is great. Good walking distance to most things.
We stayed three weeks however and we were slightly uncomfortable. The property needs some love and care, however for the price you shouldn't expect a luxury suite (just needs some fixing up).
Again Massimo was a very great host, great for a short stay!
