Paolo’s residence is about 15 minutes walk to the old town ortigia and very conveniently located to those who want to take a bus or train as the main station is just behind his place (you can catch a bus to catania airport at this station although in my case the ticket office lady didn’t show up until 15 min before the bus left). He was very responsive to my messages whenever I had questions. his place is newly renovated and I doubt you can find a place to stay cleaner than this! It also has a small and lovely backyard patio where you can have breakfast or coffee in the morning or maybe enjoy drinks in the evening. Highly recommended!
