Riccardo is very helpful, friendly and generous!! Communication before and during my stay was perfect! (He speaks English well which is rare in Sicily). He picked me from the bus stop to the house and showed me the main attractions on our way. Later he also helped me when going to station for Etna and the airport which saved my time! In the apartment you can find everything you need for a comfortable stay. The well equipped kitchen with a lovely balcony is so nice!! Also the bathroom is ok and clean. The room is comfy and spacious. There is a small room near the entry with all the maps and info of touristic places, bus connections. The house is very near to Duomo. Catania seemed very chaotic at first, then with Riccardo's great advice I felt better and safer. Mostly hosts don't offer breakfast but he brought us tasty Sicilian food in the mornings. With the other nice guests the atmosphere was warm, I had great time there! I think Riccardo is a special host... I was so lucky to stay at his place. Highly recommended!!
