We had a wonderful stay at Massimiliano's flat overlooking Castello Ursina. The location is ideal, walking distance to most of the interesting sights and restaurants in Catania, including the open air fish and produce markets, cathedrals, museums, etc. The apartment/loft was far more spacious than expected, with outside decks and an enormous and well-equipped kitchen, ample air-conditioning and wifi, and unique art providing an urban flair.
Communications with host were excellent from booking to the end. We were contacted by Paolo before our stay, and he provided clear directions and met us at the property as we arrived from the airport. He provided a thorough briefing on the flat as well as Catania, and was at our disposal throughout our stay (although we did not need to contact him).
All in all a great place to stay in Catania.
