Long story short: you won't find a better host anywhere in the world!
Long version: Andrea and Baiba created something special here. The Appartements are lovely. The moment you enter you know that they've put a lot of effort into making them a home for their guests (and not just a place to sleep).
But the Appartements aren't the only thing you're booking here. Baiba and Andrea treat you as friends and they actually mean it! They are just the most caring, helpful and nice hosts you'd ever wish for. They are there to help you with anything.
Don't have plans for dinner yet? Andrea got you covered! How about having dinner together at the (awesome) hostel restaurant or the fantastic fish restaurant or the even better pizza place that serves pizza as big as a small table? Sounds good? Then Andrea will book a table, pick you up at the Appartement and gives you recommendations for what to eat, drink and have for desert! If you want to!
Not sure on which beach to get that nice tan and enjoy snorkeling? Well, spend the day together with our favorite Sicilian couple on their favorite beach. If you want to!
Coming from or going to the airport? They probably pick you up and drop you off there as well.
Anything else? Got lost in the streets of Catania? Not sure when the bus to Syrakus leaves? Drop them a message and they'll tell you (and they will also remind you in time to take a bus back before the last one leaves for the day).
That being said, it never is weird in any way. It's never a "must", always a "can". It's just a service for friends and totally fine if you prefer to stay on your own.
We had a really great time in Catania and half of the reason is how great A&B have been.
Ciao guys and thank you for the great holiday!
