Host and apartment are wonderful! Filippo was just such a kind, accommodating human being without being invasive) that I felt right at home! The apartment is a few steps off of the central Via Umberto and Via Etnea but in a surprisingly silent side street. This location is where all locals want to own an apartment as it is in a safe, clean neighborhood with all the best restaurants and bars right around the corner. The apartment was perfectly heated (an important thing to consider with places in Catania) and everything was working just fine. I loved the artistic decoration too. All in all, highly recommended! Grazie, caro Filippo!
