Riccardo is a wonderful host and really takes good care about his guests! He welcomed me at the airport and even drove me back when I was departing! He is a very generous and warm-hearted person and always asked if everything was allright, so it was as if I was visiting an old friend :) he provides his guests with several information about Catania, what you can do and how you can get there. He also has ear plugs ready in case you can't handle the Italian traffic at night.
The apartment is as described, very spacious, fully equipped and always clean. The location is very good, you reach the Duomo square within 15mins walk and near the apartment are several small stores to buy the everyday needs.
I absolutely recommend to stay at Riccardo's apartment, I had a great time in Catania and whenever I am coming back, this is the place to stay! Thank you for everything!
