Strong strong recommendation that you stay here on your next trip to Catania.
1. Marino and his wife are fabulous hosts.
From their round the clock availability, to their help in arranging for corona tests (required to return to our home country), to their checking in via whatsapp to making sure that everything is ok, nobody can beat them for their hospitality.
2. The space is amazing - 2 bedrooms a living room bathroom and full kitchen and two balconies. The pictures on the airbnb website do not do justice to their beautiful apartment. The things in the fridge and the breakfast foods in the breakfast area in the kitchen were just additional touches which are examples of how they pamper their guests.
3. The apartment is a 3 minute walk from the sea and 2 minutes away from a huge shopping center and it took us about 10 minutes to get to all of the major tourist sights in the city.
Marino - thank you.
