Sofia and Valerio's apartment was modern and very spacious, especially for a couple. It is also very well located to visit all the main sights by foot and there are also plenty of food options within walking distance. I especially like the design of the apartment as it looks like a cave, with the curve ceiling and exposed bricks. Host Valerio was also very responsive in our communication and recommended many restaurants and tips while we were in Catania. Couple of things to note : you will need to walk up a short flight of stairs to get to the apartment, so it may not be suitable if you have mobility issues. Also, the street in front of the building is closed off due to construction work, so there will be a bit of noise during the day and they do start work quite early, just past 7am! It wasn't an issue for us as we were out most of the day. All in all, we still had a very nice stay and will recommend this to anyone visiting Catania.
