The area around the Catania train station is a bit daunting. Taxi drivers can be aggressive as you emerge, and the area buildings seem run down. But don’t be fooled. It is a quick three minute walk to Agatino’s place, which is a restful oasis. Our hosts were very responsive. We arrived after dark, obtained walking directions, and were met at the door of the building. We were made to feel quite at home. Everything was sparkling clean and the proprietor, Agatino, was intent on making sure that all was well. We checked in, dropped our bags and headed out to find some groceries and a good restaurant. All was within an easy walk. In sum, to have simple logistics and a quiet night after a long train ride, and one so hospitable and clean was a real treat.
