Amazing!!! Where do I start. The communication with Velia was perfect! I didn’t have data so I was unable to communicate with her once I landed but she was calling and texting and messaging me on Airbnb and Messaging apps to make sure I was safe and on my way. She got me settled and showed me all of the places to see nearby with a market up map. Great handmade artisan Baubo just down the street. There was a chilled bottle of water waiting and the air was on to make my first night confortable. The location is absolutely perfect and easy to walk everywhere. The apartment is HUGE! Very large bedrooms, 3 in total with the main on one side of the flat and the two others on the opposite end for great privacy although I only used one. It has lovely character and the decoration is tastefully done again with character (amazing book collection). The kitchen is well equipped with some spices, sugar, olive oil and vinegars should you cook but there is so many good restaurants to eat at. The fish market is a must and Il Sale had great pizza and octopus. Velia was so very kind to move the cleaning to the next day and let me stay until 3 so I could go straight to the airport which was so very kind. She also arranged for a car to the airport. I would absolutely without a doubt stay here again with such caring and helpful hosts and a comfortable safe space. As a solo 50+ woman traveller I felt so safe in the flat and around Catania. Thank you so much!!!
