Andrea is an amazing host. Excellent communication before our visit, and while we were at his place he gave us an excellent neighbourhood tour, with good tips on where to eat, etc. He also arranged a very good guided tour of the Etna vulcano. Then on the final day, when we found that our rented car — which we had parked on another street — had been broken into and made unworkable, he arranged with the rental company a replacement, and even drove us out to the airport to get the new one.
And, by the way, the neighbourhood is pretty funky, as well as being central.
We would gladly stay at his place again.
