We stayed 2 nights at Palazzu Stidda on our Sicily adventure. New to the Airbnb world we were a little nervous. All anxiety was set aside meeting Giovanni in the first 10 seconds! He and his wife Patricia are very gracious and accomindating. The arrival treats, the suggestions of were to go and places to eat, not outdone by Giovanna and his sense of humor. The apartment has a large bedroom and then a smaller kitchen/living room. All decorated very nicely. The location in in the middle of the castle, duomo and fish market area. Walking is the way to travel and the scooters are something you won't forget! Catania is an urban city and as always travelers must keep aware of their surroundings. The neighborhood of Palazza Stidda ends at a dead end street, so usually quiet with occasional urban going-ons. Always felt safe and enjoyed our visit very much.
