Luca's place is in the middle of an authentic and busy neighbourhood, which really gives you the feeling that you reside between the inhabitants of Catania. The apartment is walking distance from all the nice places in Catania and has plenty small shops around the corner where you can buy your groceries or grab something to eat.
Luca is a great host and helps you with everything you want to know, gives great suggestions and even makes reservations in a restaurant for you (great place to eat by the way!).
The apartment is small, but offers everything you want for your stay. The neighbourhood is noisy, so bring your earplugs, but is also lively and gives you the feeling that you reside amongst Sicilians. The terras is an excellent place for your coffee/breakfast in the morning and your beer/wine in the evening.
We had a great week and we enjoyed every moment. Luca's house is very recommendable if you are looking for an authentic place with a really great view on mount Etna.
