Absolutely stellar!
We had the best possible stay at Adrea and Baiba's place in Catania! Andrea, who picked us up from the airport and showed us the place and the main highlights in the town center nearby, is a fantastic host, we couldn't have felt more welcome. He did go above and beyond in every detail, even providing things we couldn't have thought of – like water shoes! He also booked the Etna tour for us which was so handy.
About the apartment itself, the place was pristine and had everything (and more) one could need for a comfortable stay. The bed is really comfy and the shower, although small, had good water pressure (not always a given in Italy). We chose not to cook this time but noticed the apartment was very well appointed with cooking utensils. The town center is just a stone throw's away, so we walked everywhere – and were grateful we didn't rent a car.
If you're looking for a place to stay in Catania, by all accounts, book one of Adrea and Baiba's apartments! You won't regret it!
