This apartment is absolutely wonderful and Riccardo is a very gracious, kind, and helpful host. The apartment is well connected to the main streets of the city (only a block or two away) and connects directly to the market that takes place each day. Riccardo picked us up from the train station and brought us to the airport, which was only one of the many kind things he did for us during our stay. The room is very large, beautiful, and clean. There is a balcony in the room and the kitchen. The balcony in the room has a lovely view of Etna and outside the kitchen has a table which we enjoyed thoroughly. Almost every morning, despite breakfast not technically being included, fresh pastries, granite, and more was waiting in the kitchen. The kitchen, by the way, is absolutely beautiful and is well stocked. We noticed one of the lighters was out of fluid in the morning one day and by the afternoon Riccardo had filled it all on his own. That is how great and attentive he is! We did many things in Catania at the recommendation of Riccardo and they were all great. Will definitely stay here again if ever in Catania. Thank you for all Riccardo!
