Our stay here was fabulous! Giovanna was a great host. She was great at communicating and was super helpful meeting us at the apartment even with our delayed flight. She left coffee, tea, fruit and water for us when we arrived which was really nice to enjoy for breakfast. She also had plenty of pamphlets of nearby attractions. Close to a few yummy local restaurants and a grocery store!
There’s isn’t really a beach in Catania (more rocks and cliffs), but the place is close to the waterfront and areas where you can rent a sun bed for the day overlooking the water.
The washer didn’t work when we arrived but Giovanna was quick to respond and see about getting it fixed, and even offered to do our laundry for us at her place as an alternative.
Catania isn’t very accessible by public transit but we managed to take transit for 4 euro, getting us closer to the Airbnb and then walked 15 minutes to get there. Giovanna offered to arrange a taxi for us which was sweet but we preferred to use transit.
Overall, great stay for a few days!
