Easily the best experience (out of lots of excellent ones) we've had on Airbnb. Communication beforehand was excellent - Antonio and Marilyn picked us up from the train station in Catania and took us to their brilliant apartment. Having dropped us off and showed us around the apartment - which is extremely modern, clean and well equipped (TV, aircon, WIFI, great kitchen etc.) - they then gave us a quick tour of the local area: showing us the main sites, restaurants, bars etc. Before we went back to the apartment, they even took us for a drink to try a local speciality. The apartment is extremely new and flawlessly clean - has everything you need for a great stay in Catania. Antonio gave us advice about other things to see - Taormina, Giardini Naxos etc. - and how to get there on the bus (the bus station is 2 minutes walk from the apartment). Kindly, they left us breakfast and drinks in the fridge - really thoughtful.
In summary, probably the best experience we've had on Airbnb - excellent value, great apartment, extraordinarily helpful hosts and a wonderful location.
Thanks. Al + Victoria
