Best AirBnB experience I've ever had!
Graziano is *so* friendly. He clearly loves being an AirBnB host, takes joy in meeting and helping other people. The airline lost my luggage for several days and Graziano helped me out with some essentials like a toothbrush and finding a place to buy cheap clothes. He regularly asked me how things were going and how he could help me.
The overall apartment is massive, larger than any I've seen in AirBnB. It has three bathrooms, meaning all AirBnB guests get their own private bathroom. He has a massive balcony with an amazing view. It's on the top floor of an 8 story building, giving you a view of the sea to the west and the famous sanctuary cathedral to the east.
Most tourism sites are in Ortigia. This apartment requires about a 20 minute walk to Ortigia, but it's well worth it. You won't get a view like this in Ortigia and you'll pay a lot more. It's also much closer to the Interbus line that runs to and from the Catania airport than Ortigia: a one minute walk from the stop by St. Rita's church (Chiesa Santa Rita).
