I didn't meet Agata in person but everything was well organized and a friend, Daniele, picked me up at the station and checked me in in the apartment. Communication went very well by email. The room is situated in a really large apartment in an old palazzo. There is a very nice and big terrace. The apartment is right in the center of Acireale. Everything is very close by (except the train station). It's a good base to visit Taormina, Catania and the Etna region.
I enjoyed my stay and can definitely recommend it!
At the end, Daniele even drove me to the airport for a very reasonable price. Thanks again!
